It is a curious development in Saxony-Anhalt (eastern Germany state, which was part of old DDR). The state Interior Ministry came out (by the 'boss') and said if you are a migrant and seeking naturalized German citizenship within Saxony-Anhalt....you will have to sign a document stating you are not seeking to destroy Israel.
Tamara Zieschang is the minister behind the idea. CDU Party member.
Legal? German states (16 of them) have a fair amount of power, which the federal apparatus can't really control.
I would imagine that if some migrant (holding status to stay in the country) could avoid this citizenship application issue, by moving out of Saxony-Anhalt....to a 'safe' state.
Curiously, Zieschang is presently giving the idea over to the other 15 Interior Ministers, and I would imagine at least two other states will follow this within weeks (Bavaria is likely to be one).
EU to step in and forbid this? They'd have to have all member states to agree, and I doubt that this can happen.
