Ich bin sicher kein Fan von Friedrich #Merz. Aber außenpolitisch trifft er gerade bei vielen Dingen den richtigen Ton. Der Kurswechsel beim Thema Israel ist sanft, aber bestimmt, die Unterstützung für die Ukraine wird mit Nachdruck vermittelt, & er hat bei #Trump und Fox News ne gute Figur gemacht.

The most surprising thing in this polling for me is how unpopular Israel was already before October 7. Quite a blindspot for me.
