#1 Germany has aligned itself with the Spain-Ireland bloc.

Merz will probably not start an anti-Israel initiative, but he will at least tacitly agree.

The Merz cabinet is now the most openly anti-Israel government of post war West Germany / Germany.

#2 Concrete steps may be a bridge too far, but perhaps we could get a nice pergola.

Personally, I can't decide between putting a chip on Germany Declares War on Israel or Merz Sells Guns to Hamas*

* for defensive purposes, of course.

#3 "Macron threatens sanctions on Israelis over Gaza aid crisis"

I don't know about Italy but Merz will likely abstain and then implement the sanctions.

#4 Here it comes:

"Germany to review Israel weapons exports, foreign minister says"

Merz will likely ~~abstain~~ vote for and then implement the sanctions.
