"Nobody can have any interest in regional escalation [except Israel],” the German ministry said. “All players in the region [except Israel] are called upon to act responsibly and exercise restraint.”
Did we mention Israel is exempt from international law? That's called supremacy.
ooh are we playing telephone now?
What a joke. Maybe the US should grow a pair and stop giving israel the weapons and funding to bomb embassies in 3rd countries.
Here’s what was actually “asked”:
“We have also engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days and urged them as well to send a clear message to Iran: that escalation is not in Iran’s interest, it’s not in the region’s interest and it’s not in the world’s interest,”
Hopefully the US will take significant actions against Israel, since escalation isn't in the region's or the world's interest. Punishing Israel would be a great way to show the US's desire for de-escalation. For some reason, I think the US will just keep giving them weapons.
Asking countries not to retaliate against the US proxy's escalations — and a bombing of a foreign embassy at that.
So it's not really asking, sounds more like threat plus begging, that is crybullying.
