Friedrich Merz has appeared to suggest that Iran should not be protected by international law.

In a major intervention, the German chancellor expressed fears that such rules were becoming redundant in a world where rogue states broke them with impunity and allies did not enforce them.

He went on to say that “now is not the time” for Europeans to “lecture” the United States and Israel about legality, as he turned a blind eye to accusations that their attacks on Iran broke international law.

Then what is the fucking point of law if it only applies to those who we deem fit?

This guy is a total puppet of lobbies anyways. Nothing authentic about him, except his racism and transphobia.
