Consul General Matt Boyse addressed an audience of well-wishers gathered at the Schadowplatz in Duesseldorf on May 8 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel. Speaking after Oded Horowitz from the Jewish community and Deputy Mayor Dirk Elbers, Consul General Boyse highlighted Israel’s many successes as a society in a difficult neighborhood, recalled the 30th anniversary of the Camp David Agreement, stressed that a peaceful resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict -- as two states -- will remain one of the highest foreign policy priorities for the United States, and wished Israel a peaceful and secure future.
