Germany is hoping to revitalize the Middle East peace process that has laid mostly dormant since 2014. Foreign Minister Baerbock is set to visit Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan and Egypt.
Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was set to begin her tour of the Middle East on Wednesday. She will first head to Israel before visiting the occupied Palestinian territories, Jordan and Egypt.
The aim of the visit is to gather information on the current state of the Middle East peace process. Her trip comes shortly after visiting Ukraine’s front line against Russian-backed separatists.
Baerbock is set to meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and President Isaac Herzog on Thursday.
“The new German government is not letting up in its commitment to peace and security for the people in the region. We are convinced that that inseparably includes the protection of human rights,” the German foreign minister said in a statement before the trip.
