Diverse encounters in various areas
As examples of the long-standing friendship, which has been an official partnership since 1997, he cites the Pädagogisch-Kulturelle Centrum (PKC) Ehemalige Synagoge Freudental as a lively place of learning and encounter, as well as the many exchanges between pupils from schools in the district and schools in the Upper Galilee region. Allgaier also emphasized the cooperation in the areas of clinics and culture. Just last month, District Administrator Allgaier visited his friends in Israel with a delegation from the district council to mark the 40th anniversary.
"Nothing can justify the terror of Hamas"
The state of Israel has the right to self-defense. Hamas terror, on the other hand, cannot be justified by anything. "In these difficult hours, our thoughts and sympathy are with the victims, the injured and their families," continued the head of the district administration. He sincerely hopes that the bloodshed will soon come to an end and that the kidnapped and injured will be able to return home to their families.
The Ludwigsburg District Administrator is currently in constant contact with his counterpart in the Upper Galilee, Chairman Giora Salz, and other representatives from Israel. The friends write to the District Administrator that the situation in the south of the country is terrible, while in the north kibbutzim (communities) close to the border are currently being evacuated and cleared. This also affects the partner region, which is located in the north of the country, on the border with Syria and Lebanon. "The biggest concern for the people there is the uncertainty of what might come next," says the district administrator.
