Germany’s Baerbock Meets Egypt’s Shoukry to talk Gaza Crisis

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock met with her Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry in Cairo on Monday.

This would be for another round of crisis talks amid the increasingly catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

Baerbock has been campaigning for weeks for a humanitarian ceasefire so that the Israeli hostages still held by the Islamist Hamas could be released and aid supplies could reach the Gaza Strip.

At the start of her almost two-day trip to the Middle East, Baerbock demanded that Israel and Hamas reached an agreement on a temporary ceasefire.

“Only an immediate humanitarian ceasefire that leads to a permanent ceasefire will keep the hope for peace alive for Palestinians and Israelis alike,’’ Baerbock said
