Germany to respond to any unilateral Israeli moves on Palestinian territories: Minister
Johann Wadephul issued the statement before heading off to Israel and the Palestinian territories on a trip Berlin has billed as a fact-finding mission amid heightened alarm over starvation in Gaza.
His remarks marked Germany's strongest warning yet to Israel as Western nations intensify efforts to exert pressure. In recent weeks, Britain, Canada and France have all signaled their readiness to recognize a Palestinian state in Israeli-occupied territory at the United Nations General Assembly this September.

UN coordinator urges swift justice five years after Beirut blast
United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, renewed calls for accountability on the fifth anniversary of the Beirut Port explosion, warning that the absence of justice continues to deepen the tragedy. 'Five years on, tragedy and pain are compounded by the glaring absence of justice,' Hennis-Plasschaert said in a statement Monday. 'Survivors and victims, and their families, deserve full accountability. And, they deserve it now.' Her remarks follow a meeting last week with families of several victims of the 2020 blast, which killed more than 200 people, injured thousands, and leveled entire neighborhoods in the capital. While noting recent signs of progress in the stalled investigation, the U.N. envoy urged the Lebanese government to 'take all necessary action' to advance judicial proceedings. She also welcomed Parliament's recent passage of the Judicial Independence Law, calling it a key step toward rebuilding public trust in state institutions.

Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Ali Fayyad said, 'The first step must be Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territory, a halt to hostile actions, and the release of detainees. These are non-negotiable prerequisites before any further discussions can take place.'
