During a joint press conference in Berlin with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi, he highlighted the necessity of not turning a blind eye to the catastrophic situation in Gaza and the unbearable humanitarian conditions.
The German minister praised Jordan’s significant efforts to support the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
He stressed that a relief system is ready to operate in Gaza and that humanitarian workers must be allowed to carry out their work.
Regarding Israeli attacks on Iran, Wadephul stated that Israel’s decision to confront the nuclear weapons threat is “understandable” to him, adding that the Iranian regime must not possess nuclear weapons.
“I condemn the Iranian bombing of Israeli cities and the falling of missiles on them; we are also shocked by the killing of civilians in Tehran,” said the German minister.
He added that neighboring countries suffer from Iranian influence through militias supported by the Iranian regime.
The minister also spoke about ongoing European contacts—led by Germany, France, and the United Kingdom—with the Iranian foreign minister, during which a clear proposal was presented for a negotiated solution regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
The German minister explained that the European proposal requires confidence-building measures and clarification from the Iranian leadership that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons.
He confirmed his country’s support for the Hashemite custodianship of the holy sites in Jerusalem, stressing that it is in Jordan’s interest to stabilize the situation in the occupied West Bank.
He underscored that the German government’s position is clear: Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem constitute the cornerstone of the Palestinian state.
Finally, he affirmed that Germany continues to pursue the two-state solution.
