Germany demanded on Monday that France, Jordan, and Egypt attend a peace meeting on Israel and Palestine.
A four-power summit in Berlin, according to German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, might build on recent Jordanian peace efforts.
Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Al Safadi stated his nation supports the so-called Munich framework while in Berlin on Monday.
Germany made its request in the midst of what Ms. Baerbock described as a deteriorating Middle East scenario.
She claimed that contrary to expectations, Ramadan was not taking place in an environment of "peace, family, and pleasure."
Two civilians were murdered by Israeli soldiers on Sunday, prompting the Palestinians to launch a strike. A 2005 rule prohibiting four settlements in the West Bank was overturned by Israel's Knesset last month.At a news conference alongside Mr. Al Safadi, Ms. Baerbock remarked, "It is necessary to have a political solution to addressing the crisis in our sights."
The two-state solution, according to both of our nations, "continues to provide the ideal framework for enabling Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace, dignity, security, and self-determination."
She said that Germany wished to connect the upcoming discussions to the negotiations in Aqaba, Jordan, which resulted in a joint statement from the Israeli and Palestinian leadership in February.
Israel agreed to halt "discussion of any new settlement units" for four months in the occupied areas.While she extended an invitation to her French and Egyptian colleagues to visit Berlin, Ms. Baerbock stated that a meeting soon in the Munich format would be crucial.
The Munich Group has conducted several meetings at the level of foreign ministers since its initial gathering in 2020.
In discussions held last year outside of the UN General Assembly, they cautioned against taking "unilateral steps" that may make a two-state solution impossible.
Mr. Al Safadi said that the Munich group had contributed to preventing the situation from getting worse when he was meeting with senior German authorities in Berlin.
Speaking via a German interpreter, he declared, "The situation is quite volatile."
We have two options: either we follow the radicals' example, which will undoubtedly result in a catastrophe with even more conflict and violence, or those of us who are working for peace cooperate to halt potentially disastrous events.
Concerns regarding the Israeli government's plans to reform the nation's judicial system were expressed by Ms. Baerbock in February.
A right-wing plan to institute the death sentence for Palestinians found guilty of murderous assaults, according to her, would be "a tremendous mistake."
