Merz Faces Charges Over Controversial Middle East CommentIn June 2025, Dieter Hallervorden and politician Dehm filed a complaint against Chancellor Merz for his 'dirty work' remark on Israel-Iran conflict.
- The Chancellor described Israel's strike against Iran as necessary 'dirty work' during a G7 summit interview.
- The complaint cites Article 26 of the constitution, alleging the statement promotes aggressive warfare.
- The filing was led by Diether Dehm and about 20 co-signers, including comedian Dieter Hallervorden.
- Merz maintains his stance and favors diplomatic efforts despite coalition members criticizing his phrasing.
If a German head of government, in his exemplary role, believes he can openly and publicly violate Article 26, more people in Germany might feel encouraged to advocate for aggressive wars in the future.— Diether Dehm, former member of the Bundestag from the Left Party, explaining the rationale behind his criminal complaint against Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Nationwide Holidays and Their Economic Effects DebatedTrump claims holidays cost billions; studies show short-term productivity drops but long-term worker morale gains from time off.
- Donald Trump criticized the number of federal holidays, claiming they cause billions in economic losses.
- Research indicates holidays and adjacent days reduce productivity temporarily, especially in manufacturing sectors.
- Over time, paid leave boosts employee morale and can enhance overall work performance.

Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed.— President Donald Trump stated in a Truth Social post on Juneteenth, a newly designated federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

China’s Diplomatic Challenge Amid Israel-Iran WarChina’s 2023 mediation success contrasts with its limited role in the 2024 Israel-Iran conflict escalation and regional tensions.
- Although China brokered the 2023 Iran-Saudi rapprochement, the ongoing Israel-Iran war exposes constraints in Beijing’s diplomatic reach.
- China’s strong economic ties with Iran, particularly in energy, make it vulnerable to disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.
- President Xi’s call for de-escalation is undermined by China’s reluctance to provide military aid that could provoke US retaliation.
- China’s modest leverage over Israel restricts its mediation capacity, risking damage to its regional standing amid the conflict.
We oppose any actions that infringe upon the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of other countries.— Xi Jinping, President of China, expressed his views on military conflicts in the Middle East.
