Germany's Merkel on Israel: If you try to put yourself in the position of an Israeli prime minister, it is an incredibly difficult task. If there is a bunker beneath every kindergarten and every hospital, and Hamas is sitting there, knowing that I can only destroy its position if I also attack what is above it, then the task becomes at least somewhat more complicated. An Israeli prime minister must do everything to promise his citizens security, just as our citizens in Germany expect from those who govern them.
