Palestinian Arab Ambassador to Turkey Faed Mustafa told the country's TRT TV that Israel is exploiting Germany by using its guilt over its role in the Holocaust to prevent it from having an objective foreign policy.

In response to a question from the interviewer asking how Germany's role in the 'so-called Holocaust' affects relations with the Palestinian Arabs, Mustafa said that Israel exploits the guilt Germany feels to control them. "We see how Israel excels at exhorting Germany and keeping it under the Israeli thumb," he said."

"Whenever Germany tries to become free and formulate a foreign policy of its own, they raise the issue anew."
