During her visit to Jordan, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called on Israel to show restraint in the West Bank and criticized Israeli government ministers. Baerbock expressed concern over the recent outbreak of violence in the West Bank and urged Israel to maintain law and order instead of endangering it.
She also called for Germany's support in imposing sanctions against Israel. Baerbock emphasized the need for protecting the population from violent settlers while also condemning terrorism.
She stressed the importance of proportionality and warned that failure to do so would lead to a sense of lawlessness and breed mistrust and hate. Baerbock also criticized the provocative actions of Israeli ministers visiting the Temple Mount and demanded an end to these provocations.
She reiterated the need for a negotiated solution and a two-state solution in the Gaza conflict. Baerbock's visit to Israel includes meetings with Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Defense Minister Joav Gallant.
The ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of Hamas hostages have so far been unsuccessful. Despite international pressure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained a hardline stance.
Baerbock's visit to Saudi Arabia and Jordan aims to prevent further escalation in the region and emphasizes the importance of international mediation efforts.
