In a three-minute segment titled “Middle East conflict: Key actors don't want to stop” on phoenix vor Ort, Dr. Joachim Weber analyzes remarks from a joint press briefing by German foreign minister Johann Wadephul and Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi. Weber stresses that neither party shows intent to de-escalate; instead, both continue to rely on military pressure and deterrence. This sustained confrontational posture, he warns, risks starting a silent escalation spiral. He calls for immediate diplomatic signals and coordinated strategic initiatives to stop the spiral. Without joint efforts, Weber cautions, there is a danger of further militarization which could amplify humanitarian harm and destabilize the region over the long term.
