All efforts must be directed towards a humanitarian #ceasefire leading to the hostages' release & to an end of the dying. There is no military solution for Gaza. As a friend of Israel I say: The fate of the remaining hostages is paramount - other considerations must stand back.

Congratulations, dear @andrii_sybiha. Looking very much forward to working with you. And you & #Ukraine can count on my strong support and friendship. Germany stands firmly by Ukraine’s side - for as long as it takes.

Long conversations on night trains, at the G7, on the frontlines, in Brussels, in front of a bombed-out power plant. There are few people I've worked as closely with as you, @DmytroKuleba. You put the people of your country before yourself. 1/2

The Taliban's so-called vice and virtue law seeks to silence half the country. It sets rules in stone that deprive women in #Afghanistan of their dignity, rights & voice. It underscores again that there can be no relations with radical Islamists.
