Overview

  • German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul began a two-day visit to Israel and the West Bank to press for a Gaza ceasefire, expand humanitarian relief and plan post-conflict reconstruction.
  • Germany has established an air bridge with Jordan and pledged two Bundeswehr transport aircraft to airdrop essential supplies into Gaza.
  • Wadephul is slated to meet Israeli counterpart Gideon Saar, UN representatives in Jerusalem and Palestinian Authority officials in Ramallah to coordinate tactical humanitarian pauses.
  • US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Israel to discuss next steps on Gaza and explore alternative options for returning hostages after indirect Doha talks with Hamas stalled.
  • The discussions will also tackle rising tensions in the West Bank and looming Israeli annexation plans as part of a broader mediation framework launched in Vienna.
