Department of State
The following is the Joint Statement of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken after their meeting in Berlin, October 18, 2024:
Yahya Sinwar was a brutal murderer and terrorist who was bent on eradicating Israel and its people. As vicious mastermind of the October 7 terror attacks, he brought death to thousands of people and immeasurable suffering across an entire region. Sinwar stood in the way of a ceasefire in Gaza. His death can create a momentum to end the conflict. All hostages must be released. At the same time, humanitarian aid must be surged to the civilians in Gaza in need. Germany and the United States, together with partners, won't spare any effort on this path.
