Germany’s foreign minister is calling for an end to army training in the eastern Mediterranean to ease tensions and create situations for NATO allies, Greece and Turkey, to face a dispute over offshore energy exploration rights.
Heiko Maas’ comments come when EU foreign ministers will meet in Berlin to convince EU member Greece and neighbour Turkey to withdraw from the breaking point of the conflict.
Maas insists on a desire to “create situations that allow Turkey and Greece to resolve their unrest directly with others.”
“The precondition for these discussions is that the existing manoeuvres in the eastern Mediterranean will end,” he says. “Every aspect can make a contribution to this and thus create a space for diplomatic talks, because it is certain that the parties will not be at the table if warships face the eastern Mediterranean.”

Israeli national airline El Al will make the first official flight to Abu Dhabi through an Israeli airline, according to Hebrew media.

The Hamas-led Ministry of Health in Gaza is sending the coronavirus figures to the Gaza Strip.
To date, 138 contagions have been filed in the territory, adding up to 63 active cases. Three other people died. Meanwhile, another 2269 people are quarantined.
For more than seven months, the Gaza authorities have largely prevented the spread of the virus, subjecting thousands of gang arrivals to serious quarantine measures: at least 21 days in fitness facilities, in particular designated by the Hamas Ministry of Health for this purpose.
But in recent days, the government has detected the first cases within the community, leading Hamas to demand a lockout on Monday that is still in effect.
A broader epidemic may simply overwhelm the suffering physical care formula in the densely populated strip, home to some 2 million Palestinians.
UN-backed talks on a new letter to Syria will resume today in Geneva after the Swiss fitness government gave the green light even though 4 delegates tested positive for COVID-19.
The talks, aimed at rewriting the war-torn country’s constitution, were suspended almost as soon as they began on Monday, when the effects of the check arrived.
UN envoy Geir Pedersen, who leads the interim talks between representatives of President Bashar Assad’s government, the opposition and civil society, expressed hope that they can pave the way for a broader political process.
