International Affairs Minister, Nathanael Liminski: ‘At this time in particular, we want to help those who are directly affected by Hamas’ terror. With this new program, we, as state government, are working through our office in Israel to create new frameworks for our towns and cities to express their solidarity in tangible terms. In doing so, we are sending a clear signal: Where terrorists wanted to annihilate life in Israel, North Rhine-Westphalia will help it flourish again.’
