"Steinmeier described the ongoing conflict as a 'politically fateful mistake' and a 'breach of international law,' emphasizing the need for a reevaluation of current foreign policies."
"Wadephul expressed concern over the current state of transatlantic relations, stating, 'Our own security is possibly in more concrete danger than it ever was in the last 75 years,' highlighting the dual wars affecting Europe."
"Wadephul noted, 'For the first time in generations, Europe has to deal with two wars right on its borders at the same time,' referring to the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East."
"He stressed the importance of diplomacy, stating, 'Given these new epochal challenges, diplomacy is more important than ever,' indicating a need for strategic engagement in international relations."
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul condemned the US and Israel's military actions against Iran, labeling them as a significant political error and a violation of international law. At a Berlin event commemorating the German Foreign Ministry's 75th anniversary, Wadephul acknowledged the historical US role in Germany's post-war recovery but warned of new challenges due to unpredictable foreign policies. He emphasized the current threats to European security from Russia and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, advocating for increased diplomatic efforts to address these issues.
