German-Israeli relations were strained last week because a delegation of Israeli lawmakers headed by MK Shaul Mofaz discovered during their visit to Berlin that the German counterparts were hosting a parallel meeting with members of Iran’s parliament (Majlis) in the Bundestag. The Israeli delegation, from the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, issued a strongly worded letter to the Merkel administration, which dramatically sharpened the focus on Germany’s failure to end its intense parliamentary ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and placed new question marks over Germany’s commitment to the so-called “special relationship” between Berlin and Jerusalem. http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=227620
