Germany’s foreign minister sets a diplomatic tone through multiple meetings and conferences. He meets Turkey’s foreign minister, attends an energy security conference focused on Ukraine, and receives officials from the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

He said there had been no quick resolution, as had initially been expected by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
""That is why we want to continue our European diplomatic efforts to find a solution. We are coordinating closely with the US side, but we also have our own European ideas on how the conflict can be resolved," he said."
