How is Germany seen by people in the Middle East and North Africa?
A survey across seven countries and territories in the Middle East and North Africa suggests Germany enjoys a surprisingly positive image. But respondents see the country as driven more by interests than ideals.
A recent survey conducted by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation across seven countries and territories in the Middle East and North Africa reveals a generally positive perception of Germany. While approval ratings vary, with Syria and Tunisia showing the highest at 73% and 70% respectively, Germany still receives favorable views in Egypt (just over 50%) and lower scores in the Palestinian Territories (38%).
Despite the overall goodwill, the survey indicates that many respondents in the region view Germany primarily in terms of economic interests rather than ideological support, particularly in relation to Israel. The findings suggest that while Germany is not perceived as a dominant political actor in the region, it is still seen as a significant player due to its economic influence.
