Forty-six domestic flights were canceled due to a power outage at the third terminal of Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, at around 01:05 local time. At least 9,000 passengers were affected by the cancellations. Authorities stated that the interruption was due to a technical malfunction in the terminal, the cause of which has not yet been determined. After eight hours, electricity was restored to the airport after the fault was fixed.
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.
