🇬🇧, 🇮🇹, 🇨🇵 & 🇩🇪 have jointly issued the following statement on settlements and settler violence in the West Bank: https://t.co/UyaAxfGFhX

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Settler violence in the West Bank is at unprecedented levels. Together with the United Kingdom, France and Italy, we call on the Government of Israel to end its expansion of settlements. For a comprehensive and just peace based on a two-state solution.

[Anke Schlimm @GerRepRamallah]

Timely exchange in Ramallah with VP Hussein al-Sheikh and PM Mohammad Mustafa during visit of State Secretary Dr. Bernhard Kotsch: Urgency to act on Gaza, settler violence, and the PA’s financial crisis. 🇩🇪 stays firmly committed to a two-state solution.

[Anke Schlimm @GerRepRamallah]

Very concerned about the increasing attacks against Christians in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Jerusalem is sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike — it must remain a place of peaceful coexistence.

[Religions- u. Weltanschauungsfreiheitsbeauftragter @ReligionBund]

Von zunehmenden Übergriffen (Anspucken, Vandalismus, Brandstiftung) auf Christen in #Jerusalem und Westjordanland berichtete mir besorgt @PaterNikodemus. Jerusalem ist für #Juden, #Christen und #Muslime heilig und muss es bleiben: interrelig. Dialog+Toleranz sind daher zentral.

[Anke Schlimm @GerRepRamallah]

🇩🇪 FM Johann Wadephul addressed key Palestinian concerns — opposing de-facto annexation in the West Bank, condemning settler violence, supporting Gaza reconstruction, and calling for PA reform and the release of PA tax revenues.

“Without the financial resources to which it is entitled, the PA cannot fulfill its central responsibilities in healthcare, education and security. Therefore, the PA’s tax revenues must be released.”

On a visit to Hammamat al Maleh and Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley, the German Rep Office and other partners talked with community members facing escalating settler violence and displacement.

[Anke Schlimm @GerRepRamallah]

Great pleasure to co-host a high-level workshop with Dr. Dalal Iriqat & Women in Diplomacy. 🇩🇪 promotes gender equality — a hallmark of a modern society.

In 🇩🇪 Foreign Service, since 2018 the number of women Heads of Mission has doubled through concrete policy reforms.

Fruitful meeting with Minister of Interior Ziad Hab al-Reeh, the German Representative Office, European partners & GIZ.

[Anke Schlimm @GerRepRamallah]

🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🇵🇸 launched TAJDID project. 75,000 Palestinians in the Jenin area will receive access to modern wastewater management. Palestine has the right to make use of its water ressources based on the needs of its population. Team 🇪🇺 supports 🇵🇸 in this endeavour.

1/2 The EU 🇪🇺 Representative, @EUSR_MEPP and other diplomatic missions paid a solidarity visit to the village of Mughayyir, where two persons, including 14-year-old Aws Hamdi Naasan, were killed on 21 April by settlers opening fire on a school.

[Anke Schlimm @GerRepRamallah]

A boy and a man were shot dead at a school in Al Mughayyir. Today 🇩🇪 took part in a solidarity visit to the school together with many missions and international observers. The message was clear: This was not an accident. Settler violence has to stop.
