German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is traveling to the Middle East for the third time in a month with stopovers planned in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Germany’s foreign ministry says Baerbock’s meetings will focus on the release of the German hostages held by the Hamas terror group in Gaza, the humanitarian situation there, and efforts to prevent a regional conflagration of the conflict.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has also traveled to Israel and other countries in the region since Hamas’s October 7 atrocities.
