3. SOUNDBITE (English) Annalena Baerbock, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany:
“Universal humanity means the rights of Israelis and Palestinians do not cancel each other out, and this is why my country stands by its commitment to the security of the State of Israel, and why at the same time we are working every day to end the hell for the children of Gaza, because lasting security for Israelis will only be possible if there's lasting security for Palestinians. And the opposite is also true, lasting security for Palestinians will only be possible if there's lasting security for Israelis.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Annalena Baerbock, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany:
“In competition of pain, there can be no winners. This is how one of the hostage families put it. Humanity is universal, if in the darkest hour of her life, the mother of a murdered hostage finds the strength to see both sides, then we, as leaders of the countries around the world who have the privilege to speak in this hall, should be capable of doing the same, not to fall for quick slogans, but to rally around humanity in order to overcome this vicious circle of hate.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Annalena Baerbock, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany:
“I'm also asking your support, your support in calling out on Putin to seize his attacks and to come to the negotiation table, not only for our European security, but I think also in your own interest. If a permanent member of the Security Council is allowed to conquer and destroy its smaller neighbor, the very essence of this Charter is under attack.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Annalena Baerbock, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany:
“It is in this spirit that Germany is running for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for 2728. We are running as defenders of the Charter, of our shared principles.”
