German state demands support for Israel to grant citizenship
Selin Turker
If you do not recognise Israel's right to exist, you can forget about acquiring German citizenship in the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
The state has added the new requirement for applying for citizenship that it must "recognize Israel's right to exist and condemn any effort directed against Israel's existence."
Tamara Zieschang, regional interior minister of Saxony-Anhalt, said the decree was issued at the end of November and stressed that "Israel's right to exist" was a raison d'état for Germany – a fundamental principle of the state.
Although it is currently limited to one Länder, it could become part of a broader debate in Germany, where a citizenship review is planned within a few months.
