I met on Tuesday with ambassadors of the Munich Group, formed of the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, France, and Germany, whom I informed about the dangerous wave of raids by Israeli forces, he wrote on Twitter.

Al-Sheikh urged to exert pressure on the neighboring nation to force it to stop its actions.

I thanked the four countries for the effort put in by them and their continued support for advancing a peace process to end the occupation, he stressed.

Israeli security forces killed six Palestinians on Tuesday, five at a raid on Nablus in the occupied West Bank, raising tensions in the area.

According to the Ministry of Health, Israeli forces have killed more than 180 Palestinians, including 51 in Gaza Strip, since early 2022.
