Germany is providing a one-time payment of $236 (€220) to each of Israel’s 113,000 Holocaust survivors to help them cope with the impacts of the October 7 attack by Hamas and its aftermath.
Then why wouldn’t they lower the amount they’re charging Israel or increase the amount of aid given without cost, that would be way more effective to improve relations with the Israeli government?
Because lowering the amount they’re charging or increasing the amount of aid will cost more than measly 25 million and doesn’t make such good headlines.
No, I’m implying that Germany’s real intention is not to help holocaust survivors, but to keep up good relations with Israel’s government.
