Security in the Baltic Sea region was the central theme addressed at the meeting in Helsinki of the NATO countries that lie on the Baltic Sea that was held. The German Navy would also contribute to infrastructure surveillance in the region, said the Federal Chancellor in a statement delivered after the meeting.
The fact that an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza, including Germans, seems to have been reached is good news! This agreement must now be implemented to the letter. All of the hostages must be released. The mortal remains of the deceased must also be handed over to the families for a dignified burial. This ceasefire opens the door to a permanent end to the war and to the improvement of the poor humanitarian situation in Gaza. We are continuing to work towards this.
