Safadi and Sheikh Mohammed warned that Israeli Occupation’s continued escalation risks igniting broader conflict. They reiterated that a two-state solution, grounded in international law, remains the only path to lasting peace and security.
During a call with German Foreign Minister Dr. Johann David Wadephul, Safadi denounced the 'Israeli' attack as a blatant act of aggression and a violation of the sovereignty of a UN member state. Both ministers emphasized the need to halt further escalation and discussed developments in Gaza, including efforts to deliver humanitarian aid and achieve a ceasefire.
Safadi also spoke with Hussein Al-Sheikh, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Deputy President of the State of Palestine. The two officials condemned the 'Israeli' assault and underscored the need to intensify efforts to end the aggression on both Iran and Gaza.

They warned against 'Israeli' actions that undermine the two-state solution and further isolate the Palestinian people, calling on the international community to take meaningful steps to halt violations and hold Israeli Occupation accountable as an occupying power.
Safadi and Al-Sheikh reaffirmed that an immediate halt to hostilities and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital is the only route to just and lasting peace in the region.
