Migration - NRW: Commitment to Israel as a prerequisite for naturalization
The black-green state government of North Rhine-Westphalia wants to use a Bundesrat initiative to make a commitment to Israel's right to exist a prerequisite for naturalization in Germany. According to a decision by the state cabinet, North Rhine-Westphalia will submit a resolution to the state parliament this week, said Minister President Hendrik Wüst (CDU) in the state parliament in Düsseldorf on Wednesday.
The motion calls on the federal government to develop proposals for changes to criminal and citizenship law in consultation with the interior and justice ministers of the federal states in the near future. The NRW government is also calling for a tightening of the criminal offense of incitement to hatred. The denial of Israel's right to exist should also be punishable in future, said Wüst. "For me, acknowledging Israel's right to exist is part of being German," said the CDU politician.
"You can only become a German citizen if you are committed to Israel's right to exist," continued the head of government. Those who call for the eradication of the state of Israel in speeches, at demonstrations or in inflammatory videos should feel the full consequences of the rule of law. "The denial of Israel's right to exist is just as inhumane as the denial of the Holocaust," said Wüst. "That's why it should be just as punishable."
