Abstract
Israeli-German relations have come a long way: from the time when Israeli passports were ‘valid for all countries, except Germany’, to today’s close partnership, with cooperation on a myriad of levels that extends virtually to all areas. Today, Germany is considered Israel’s second-closest ally after the United States. It is also Israel’s most important economic partner in the EU and a highly popular tourist destination. Frequent visits of German politicians and sought-after receptions at the residence of the German ambassador in Herzliya have become routine. These strong ties are often likened by Germany to a ‘miracle’, whereas Israelis see these relations as an evolving process fraught with many tensions and crises.
