“We thank the German people for their solidarity with Israel and the injured in the aftermath of Hamas' massacre on October 7,” the IDF said regarding the visit by Gerhartz and the delegation.
The German Luftwaffe commander was also welcomed by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who told him, “We are glad you are here in times like these. We really appreciate that.”
Gerhartz and the German delegation of officers arrived to Israel from Jordan, where the German Air Force took part in a tri-national exercise called Desert Air, together with the Royal Jordan Air Force and the U.S. Air Force.
