Jordan, Germany Discuss Regional Security Amid Middle East Conflict

LONDON_ Jordan's military chief and the commander of Germany's Bundeswehr Joint Force Command met on Wednesday to discuss security developments in the Middle East, military cooperation and the implications of the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Iran, as Amman continues to strengthen coordination with international partners. Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti, chairman of Jordan's Joint Chiefs of Staff, held talks with Lt. Gen. Alexander Sollfrank, commander of Germany's Bundeswehr Joint Force Command, during a meeting attended by senior officers from the Jordanian Armed Forces and Germany's defense attache in Amman, according to Jordan's state-run news agency. The discussions focused on expanding military and defense cooperation between the two countries while reviewing the regional security situation. The meeting came as Jordan continues to monitor developments linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the United States and its wider implications for regional stability. Germany has maintained a military presence at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Azraq, eastern Jordan, since 2017 as part of the U.S.-led international coalition established to combat Daesh. The deployment has made the installation a key element of coalition operations in the region. According to the report, the air base has been targeted several times by Iran since hostilities involving Tehran, the United States and Israel began on Feb. 28. The attacks have underscored the growing security challenges facing Jordan as the regional conflict has intensified. Following the collapse of diplomatic efforts and the resumption of hostilities last month, the Jordanian Armed Forces intercepted several Iranian missiles that entered the country's airspace. Jordan has repeatedly emphasized its commitment to protecting its sovereignty and preventing its territory from being drawn into the conflict. Huneiti has stepped up consultations with international military partners in recent weeks as regional tensions have escalated. Jordan has sought to reinforce defense cooperation and exchange assessments with allied countries amid continuing instability across the Middle East. On Sunday, Huneiti met a senior United States delegation that included Senator Joni Ernst, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, U.S. Ambassador Jim Holtsnider and the U.S. defense attache in Amman. According to Jordanian authorities, those talks focused on strengthening bilateral military cooperation, including joint training initiatives and broader defense coordination between Jordan and the United States. The latest meeting with Germany reflects Jordan's continuing engagement with international partners as it navigates heightened regional security risks while maintaining its role in multinational defense cooperation and counterterrorism efforts.

Over 800,000 Lebanese Return Home as Fighting Eases

BEIRUT- More than 800,000 people displaced by the conflict in Lebanon have begun returning to their homes following a reduction in hostilities linked to the Israel-Hezbollah war, the United Nations said, even as hundreds of thousands remain displaced and humanitarian needs continue across the country's south. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that 821,077 people had returned to their areas of origin as of July 30. However, the agency said more than 360,000 people remained displaced, including around 26,000 who were still living in government-run shelters. The update came as Lebanese and Israeli officials entered a new round of U.S.-sponsored negotiations in Rome aimed at securing an end to the fighting. The talks, which began this week, are scheduled to continue through Thursday. The conflict escalated after Hezbollah launched rocket attacks against Israel in March in support of its ally Iran, drawing Lebanon into the broader regional confrontation. Israel responded with extensive airstrikes and a ground offensive that Lebanese authorities say killed more than 4,300 people and displaced more than one million residents at the height of the conflict. Violence has eased since a preliminary agreement between the United States and Iran on wider regional tensions was reached in June. The accord included a ceasefire arrangement in Lebanon and was followed by a separate U.S.-mediated understanding between Israel and Lebanon intended to reduce hostilities. Despite the decline in large-scale fighting, Lebanese authorities continue to report intermittent Israeli airstrikes, shelling, controlled explosions and demolitions in villages across southern Lebanon. Israeli forces also remain deployed in parts of southern Lebanese territory. OCHA said the war inflicted extensive damage on essential infrastructure, particularly water and electricity networks, leaving more than 700,000 people in southern Lebanon with severely reduced access to safe water. The affected region was home to many of those displaced during the conflict. During negotiations held in Washington in June, Israel and Lebanon agreed to a framework that envisages the gradual disarmament of Hezbollah, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and the deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces to the area. The plan calls for implementation to begin in designated test areas known as "pilot zones." Hezbollah has rejected the proposed framework and has refused to disarm. The group's leader, Naim Qassem, said direct negotiations would bring "nothing but shame, humiliation, and successive compromises" for Lebanon. The latest displacement figures underscore the scale of the humanitarian recovery challenge facing Lebanon, where many returning residents continue to confront damaged infrastructure, disrupted public services and the lingering effects of months of conflict despite the reduction in violence.
