Qatar's Prime Minister announced that Qatar's role as a central mediator in talks about a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip would be "reassessed." Turkish Foreign Minister accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of exploiting regional tensions "to stay in power. "Call the Revolutionary Guards by their name – they are a terrorist organization.
And decide on sanctions for the Iranian missile program," Katz called. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is once again calling on Israel not to respond to the Iranian attacks with a massive counterattack. The Israeli war cabinet decided at the beginning of April to open the Erez border crossing and temporarily the port of Ashdod to aid deliveries after the USA called for the expansion of humanitarian aid in view of the catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip. Aid for the coastal area has arrived via the port, the Israeli army announced on Wednesday evening. The time and place are still pending. The UN Security Council will vote on the Palestinians' application for full membership on Thursday. The project is considered unpromising. The US, Israel's closest ally, has spoken out against the initiative. Washington can veto such a recommendation. In the midst of the conflict with Iran, Annalena Baerbock, the Federal Foreign Minister, encouraged Israel to act carefully and responsibly. "I'm talking about clever restraint, which is nothing less than strength," she said. The European Union has already imposed extensive sanctions against Iran. In addition, the successful defense against the Iranian air attacks already shows "how much Tehran has miscalculated." Iran is in complete isolation in the region.
