Investing.com -- German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Monday that the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan must be achieved by the start of next week at the latest.
Speaking at a press conference in Tel Aviv, Wadephul emphasized that the initial phase - which includes a ceasefire, release of hostages and prisoners, military restraint, and delivery of supplies to Gaza - is feasible in the short term.
"All other issues are very complicated and, indeed, that is why they also need time," Wadephul said. "We must not abandon all diplomatic efforts, but I would like to focus now on taking this first decisive step together."
The German foreign minister stressed the importance of ensuring that "the number of those suffering in Gaza does not become too great" while reaffirming Germany’s commitment to Israel’s security.
"Israel-German relations are intact, no other European country feels so responsible for its existence," Wadephul stated, adding that Germany "will continue to push to ensure Israel’s security, existence are secured."
