German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephol stated that the deployment of a "protection force" from various countries in the Gaza Strip requires a legal framework.
This came in remarks made by the minister on Tuesday during a joint press conference held in the capital Bucharest with his Romanian counterpart Oana Silvia Tăiu.
In response to a question about the "Declaration of Intent" signed at the Sharm El-Sheikh summit, Wadephol considered it essential for the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to agree on implementing the "Declaration of Intent."
He noted that consultations are ongoing with Russia and China to reach a joint resolution, emphasizing the importance of constructive dialogue in this regard.
Wadephol also called on everyone to engage in constructive dialogue, asserting that "this security element is indispensable for disarming Hamas."
In a related context, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the start of the second phase of his plan to ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, confirming that there has been "tremendous progress" following the Sharm El-Sheikh summit.
It is worth noting that since October 8, 2023, Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 67,869 people, most of whom are children and women.
I hope that the consultations with Russia and China succeed, as we need a legal framework to mandate a protection force in Gaza.
