Foreign media reported last night (September 22): "The German government on Monday (September 22) reiterated its position, stating that Germany will not recognize the State of Palestine before the outcome of negotiations for a 'two-state solution' between Israel and Palestine is reached."

[Sarcastic] Comment: The German government's statement of "not recognizing the State of Palestine" is actually constrained by dual chains of history and emotion. The historical guilt of Nazi atrocities has left Germany with an almost obsessive "compensation mentality" towards Israel; emotionally, it is difficult to get rid of the guilt filter towards the Jewish people. This policy under such special circumstances may seem "principled," but in reality, it is trapped in narrow historical sentiments, lacking the diplomatic wisdom for impartial balance, and is merely paying for historical burdens.
