YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Germany’s bid for a UN Security Council seat has failed - and its foreign minister points to Berlin’s strong support for Israel as a possible reason. Germany says it has a special historical responsibility toward Israel, but that stance may have alienated some UN member states. The result might highlight the growing splits within the international community - and reflect the possible cost of taking clear positions on Israel. DW correspondent Benjamin Alvarez Gruber in New York and DW Berlin Bureau chief Max Hofmann have been following this vote for us.
