Thousands of fans from all over Iraq gathered in the early hours of the morning to watch the Arab Gulf Cup final match, which was held in the Cudunahala Stadium in Basra. A stampede broke out as the ticketless fans wanted to enter the stadium. Authorities reported that 1 person was killed and at least 60 people were injured in the incident.
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.
