No one is above the law. This guides our actions. We welcome today's order by the International Court of Justice CIJ_ICJ dismissing the request by #Nicaragua on the indication of provisional measures against Germany. 1/3

Germany is not a party to the conflict in the Middle East - on the contrary: We are committed day and night to a #TwoStateSolution . We are the largest donor of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. We are working urgently to ensure that aid reaches the people in #Gaza . 2/3

But we also see: It is the terror of October 7th which has started this new spiral of suffering. Israel must defend itself against these attacks. There are still over 100 hostages in the hands of Hamas, which is using the people of #Gaza as human shields. 3/3

Protests took place today on the sidelines of a meeting of EU heads of missions at the Palestinian National Museum in #Birzeit . Unfortunately, the meeting had to be suspended for security reasons.

The numerous talks Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock had today in #Riyadh were primarily about one thing: how to save the prospect for a #TwoStateSolution , and what concrete steps are necessary to end the suffering in #Gaza & to come to a sustainable solution.

In Riyadh, Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock met again with UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza Sigrid Kaag. She plays a central role in the tireless effort to finally get more aid to the people of #Gaza . There is still not enough help coming in to alleviate the suffering.

20 years ago about 75 million people, from the Baltics to the Mediterranean, joined the #EU , thanks to courage & vision of the people who seized the opportunity back then.

We must not pass up on the chance to make our Union larger & stronger. To accomplish this task of a generation, we must reform the EU to remain capable of taking action both internally & externally with 35 members or more. This includes i.a. more decisions by #qmv .

It’s a wrap: #Petersberg2024 brought together decision makers from all around the globe to build a joint understanding of climate actions, discuss priorities and deliver on the Paris Agreement, ahead of COP29 AZ.

Thanks to everyone for two days of commitment!

Sixty-four countries supported a resolution in the #UN Security Council that called for all Member States to refrain from developing nuclear weapons designed for orbital deployment. It seems straightforward, doesn’t it? Yet, #Russia vetoed it, providing only flimsy justification.

We welcome the report by Catherine Colonna on UNRWA, whose recommendations must be implemented swiftly. Like other partners, we will resume cooperation with the UN Relief and Works Agency in #Gaza shortly. For details, read our joint statement with Bundesentwicklungsministerium 👇 diplo.de/2654390

In these tumultuous times, close coordination and trust among democracies is key. As the largest economies, and also as colleagues & friends, exemplified by the #G7 under Italian presidency. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock 1/4

Everyone in the Middle East wants to live in peace. Cooperation of those who want to provide protection & security for their people is the strongest means against Iran's aggression and for de-escalation. - Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock at the start of #G7Italy in Capri. 1/3

The G7 assume responsibility to uphold the rules-based international order. That means working closely with partners around the world in these challenging times - no matter from which continent, no matter how big or small. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock 3/3

As a close friend of #Israel , I emphasized that the region must not stumble into a scenario where the outcomes are entirely unpredictable. It's not about playing it small with Iran, but exercising prudent restraint, which is a true demonstration of strength. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock in 🇮🇱 1/3

We will not allow the eyes of the world to turn away from the people of #Gaza . Israel must facilitate the third phase of the humanitarian corridor from Jordan to Gaza, i. e. ensure safe distribution within Gaza. Up to 100 trucks per day of aid are feasible. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock 2/3

Hamas leader Sinwar could have the #hostages released today. However, he is playing a cynical game with both his own people and Israeli civilians. How perfidious can one be? Release these innocent children, women, and men! Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock 3/3

Together with #Jordan and the United Nations we keep on working on a direct corridor for #aid into #Gaza . The situation there is a daily horror. Iran's attack on Israel is also a true catastrophe for the people in Gaza. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock with 🇯🇴 FM Ayman Safadi in Berlin 1/3
