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.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
