German citizenship: Applicants must support Israel’s right to exist

Combating anti-Semitism is central to German government policies, due to the country’s history and responsibilities stemming from the Holocaust.
That view has deepened since the Hamas attack in Israel in October.
In one eastern state, government ministers have agreed to compel German citizenship applicants to sign a declaration that guarantees Israel’s right to exist.
Some lawyers believe the move is unconstitutional.
