President Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke on Friday at the Fraenkelufer synagogue in Berlin, the first in the city where an official service took place in 1945 after the Holocaust.
Steinmeier was flanked by community members, including some holding posters depicting people missing in Israel.
He said that Hamas had called for violence against Jewish communities worldwide on Friday, “and this Friday is a day of fear for German Jews, as well.”
He added: “So my place today is among you. At this time, I represent our whole nation at the side of our threatened compatriots, at the side of all Jews in Germany.”
