Summary/Abstract: Officially started by the Luxembourg Agreement in 1952, Federal Republic of Germany’s policy towards Israel has been driven not only purely by political or economic interests, but also by the both principles such as “historical moral responsibility” and the acceptance of the responsibility of the genocide, namely “Holocaust”. The protection of the Israeli statehood and its security became the fundamental pillars of German foreign policy within the framework of the historical moral responsibility. This priority has been defined as a “special relationship” in the German-Israeli relations. This paper will explore the West Germany’s Israel policy during the “Six-Day Wars” in 1967 regarding the German-Israeli relations in general terms.
