SECURITY: Scholz: Germany Committed t/Ceasefire, Calls For 'Two-State Solution'

SECURITY

Wires carrying comments from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, delivering remarks on the anniversary of Hamas' 2023 attack on Israel: "Berlin committed to ceasefire, the liberation of hostages and a political process, even if it seems further away than ever before… Two-state solution can be only goal for any political process... We stand with Israel, Hamas terrorists must be countered."

  • Scholz comments are strong backing for Israel after French President Emmanuel Macron called on countries to stop supplying weapons to Israel for use in Gaza. Macron said, on calls for a ceasefire: “I think we are not being heard."
  • Reuters reports that the deputy commander of Iran's elite Quds Force told the Iranian parliament that Quds Commander Esmail Qaani is in 'good health', following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
  • Qaani, the leader of the military intelligence service tasked with managing Tehran's regional proxies since the US assassinated his predecessor Qassem Soleiman in 2020, may have been injured or killed in the same Israeli strike that targeted Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's presumed successor, Hashem Safieddine on Friday.
  • The New York Times reports: "Hamas is still capable of attacking Israel: On Monday, as memorials kicked off, Palestinian militants fired four rockets at southern Israel, setting off air-raid sirens..."
  • Axios reports that, after a series of strategic wins, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "now has the political capital for negotiations that could set the country's next budget and allow him to continue to call the shots for at least another yearin the multi-front regional war Israel is fighting."
