German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock will visit the Middle East next week, Berlin says, as the Gaza conflict grinds on and fears grow of a wider regional conflict, AFP reports.

Baerbock will travel to Israel Monday immediately after a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Luxembourg, a foreign ministry spokeswoman said.

On arrival in Israel, Baerbock — who has visited the region several times since the start of the Israel-Hamas war — will give a speech at the Herzliya Security Conference.

On Tuesday, she will hold talks with Palestinian prime minister Mohammed Mustafa in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank. Baerbock will also meet with the Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz in Jerusalem. Subsequently, Baerbock will travel to Lebanon for talks with officials in Beirut, including the migration minister.

Baerbock’s discussions with officials would focus on “the war in Gaza and the continuing catastrophic humanitarian situation”, as well as “the question of what a future could look like that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live together in safety”, the ministry spokeswoman said.
