The state of Saxony-Anhalt has said people who do not recognize Israel's right to exist cannot become naturalized citizens. The eastern state's interior minister said Germany's other 15 states should take similar steps.
That is just polemic though. Populists saying this phrase, does not make it a reality. The German state is separate from Israel and it’s right to exist.

I wouldn’t call Angela Merkel a populist in any sense of the word.
The statement is definitely populist though. It’s used by politicians for political gain. Not on some legal or moral base.
