Horrified by the news of Jawad Bawaqnehโs death in #Jenin on Thursday, a teacher and father of six, apparently killed while providing first-aid. We call for a thorough investigation of the circumstances. Too many have already lost their lives this year!

- Together with ๐ง๐ช๐ฉ๐ฐ๐จ๐ต๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐น๐ณ๐ฑ๐ช๐ธ๐ธ๐ช and following extensive examinations ๐ฉ๐ช will continue to cooperate with six listed ๐ต๐ธ NGOs. We remain supportive of a strong civil society, which is indispensable for democracy and the two-state solution. Full declaration: bit.ly/3AKEDvM
- We are appalled by the violent attacks on Palestinians ๐ต๐ธ in #Hebron over the last days. The situation in and around Hebron remains tense. Yesterday, we visited @Issaamro together with like-minded + @BtSIsrael in support of those who work for peaceful conflict resolution.
- Yesterday was @Issaamroโs last trial in ๐ฎ๐ฑ military court in a case that had been ongoing for 7 years. It was reassuring to meet him in good spirits and with steadfast support from other human rights defenders. @CanadaRepPA
- Germany together with other diplomatic missions in Ramallah and Jerusalem condemns continued Israeli demolitions:
- Official beginning of the #COVAX vaccination campaign in Ramallah, with Palestine's Minister of Health Mai al-Kaila, PM Shtayyeh, Kรผhn von Burgsdorf, Wennesland. ๐ฉ๐ช & ๐ช๐บ are biggest contributors, with multilateral approach of global responsibility.
- Sad and appalled by this senseless death of young paramedic: Several killings of Palestinians over the past days and weeks without clarity on the circumstances raise more than just questions. There must be investigations and accountability.WHO strongly condemns the killing of Sajedย Mazher, a first responder working with PMRS in the #WestBank. The protection of health workers, patients and health facilities must be respected at all times. Health care is #NotATarget.ย bit.ly/2HTI9Zi
- Today we joined a solidarity visit to ๐ต๐ธfamilies in #KhanAlAhmar with @btselem, ๐ช๐บ and other like-minded colleagues. See statement below.
- It takes principles+courage to stand up for human rights. Defending them in a context where threats loom on many sides. With great admiration we award @Issaamro the ๐ซ๐ท๐ฉ๐ช Human Rights prize - unexpectedly, in a telling place. You are a shining example of integrity+bravery. ู ุจุฑูู
- The Fed. Gov. reiterates firmly its position on the Israeli settlement policy in the occupied territories. It views settlement building activity as a violation of int. law, which hampers prospects of a peace process and makes a negotiated two state solution much more difficult.Die Bundesregierung bekrรคftigt ihren Standpunkt zur israelischen Siedlungspolitik in den besetzten Gebieten: Der Siedlungsbau ist aus unserer Sicht vรถlkerrechtswidrig, beeintrรคchtigt die Mรถglichkeit eines Friedensprozesses & erschwert eine verhandelte Zwei-Staaten-Lรถsung.
- Together with ๐ช๐บ and like-minded missions we visited Khashm al Karem school in the #SouthHebronHills today. Funded by the West Bank Protection Consortium, the school is under the immediate risk of demolition. #Education is a Human Right that has to be respected also in #AreaC.
- Joint IC visit of Beduin communities in Area C East of Ramallah. Extremely concerned by lack of infrastructure, settler violence and possibly forcible transfer. We recall Israelโs legal responsibility to ensure safety of civil population in occupied territories.@btselem
- Together w/ 20+ EU MS and like-minded, we visited #Turmusaya. Shocked by the accounts of ๐ต๐ธ inhabitants. Our heart goes out to the family of Omar Qateen who lost his life during recent attack by settlers. Perpetrators must be held accountable + protection of civilians ensured.
- Weโre in full solidarity with Abbot Nikodemus and share his concern regarding shrinking space for some religions in #Jerusalem. It is mutual respect and tolerance that makes the unique character of the Holy City.Das leider nicht ganz so schรถne Ende einer schรถnen Altstadt-Tour durch das morgendliche #Jerusalem. Es ist schmerzhaft zu erleben, wie das Klima in dieser wundervollen Stadt sich unter der neuen Regierung immer mehr zum Unguten verรคndert. Jerusalem ist doch groร genug fรผr alle!
