German FM calls for maximum restraint to ‘not plunge the entire region into chaos’
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock calls for restraint to avoid further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
“Hamas is a terrorist organization that has carried out countless cruel and deadly attacks on Israel. The central issue now is to prevent a regional conflagration and not plunge the entire region into chaos,” Baerbock says in a news conference.
Baerbock says any decision made now may ease the situation or inflame it further and calls on all parties in the conflict to “exercise maximum restraint and deescalate in the interest of the people in the region.”
