German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock will visit the Middle East next week, Berlin says.
Baerbock will travel to Israel on Monday immediately after a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Luxembourg, a foreign ministry spokeswoman says.
On arrival in Israel, Baerbock — who has visited the region several times since the start of the war — will give a speech at the Herzliya Security Conference. On Tuesday, she will hold talks with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa in Ramallah. She will also meet with Foreign Minister Israel Katz in Jerusalem.
Baerbock will then travel to Lebanon for talks with officials in Beirut, including the migration minister.
The minister’s discussions with officials will focus on “the war in Gaza and the continuing catastrophic humanitarian situation,” as well as “the question of what a future could look like that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live together in safety,” the ministry spokeswoman says.
