Germany’s foreign minister welcomes a truce deal between Israel and Hamas allowing at least 50 hostages to be freed as a “breakthrough,” and urges that “vital aid” be sent to Gaza.
“The announced release of the first major group of hostages is a breakthrough — even if nothing in the world can undo their suffering,” said Annalena Baerbock on X, formerly Twitter.
“The humanitarian pause must be used to bring vital aid to people in Gaza.”
