The relationship between Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and her Jordanian colleague is considered trusting. They want to discuss the Gaza war together.
Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) met with her Jordanian colleague Ayman al-Safadi for a working meeting against the backdrop of the Gaza war. The conversation in the capital Amman is likely to focus on the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the prospects for the period after the war ends. Details and possible results should not be disclosed.
The Federal Foreign Minister stopped in Jordan on the way back from a three-day trip to East Africa. The relationship between her and al-Safadi is considered trusting.
German aid deliveries via Jordan
Germany is currently delivering medicines and medical materials worth 400,000 euros to Jordan for those in need in the Gaza Strip. The regular Bundeswehr flights to the Jordanian military base Al-Asrak are used for this purpose.
The Bundeswehr has been taking part in the international operation against the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) there since 2017 and is carrying out transport tasks and aerial refueling. Jordan then brings the relief supplies to the Jordanian field hospitals in Gaza. Another project is being planned, it was said.
The Gaza war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel’s history, which terrorists from Hamas and other extremist groups carried out in southern Israel on October 7th.
In addition to the situation of the civilian population in Gaza, the search for a peace solution between Israel and the Palestinians is likely to play a role in Baerbock’s conversation with Al-Safadi. The minister is in favor of a two-state solution, according to which an independent, democratic and demilitarized Palestinian state should exist peacefully alongside Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, recently expressed his strict rejection of such a solution after the end of the Gaza war. The Islamist Hamas is also against a two-state solution and aims to create a Palestinian state in the entire area west of the Jordan. Hamas wants to destroy the state of Israel.
