A firefighting plane crashed while dropping water on the fire near the village of Platanisto on the Greek island of Euboea at around 15:00. An explosion occurred after the crash. Authorities have stated that the pilots may have died.
The footage shows that the pilots tried maneuvering to slow down before crashing, but the damaged wing did not allow it.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Germany sees a negotiated two-state solution as the only path forward and emphasized, “For Germany, recognition of the State of Palestine is still at the very end of the process. However, such a process must begin immediately.” Ahead of his visit to Israel and Palestine, Wadephul urged Israel to ensure the safe distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza and warned against unilateral annexation steps in the West Bank.
