Last weekend, the German Ministry of Defence said it was going to strengthen its response capabilities in the Middle East, establishing a headquarters in Cyprus for planning and undertaking possible evacuation of German citizens.

Special forces units of the German Navy are also on standby on the island, and the Special Forces Command has been relocated to Jordan.

According to the German Foreign Ministry, there are still several thousand German citizens in the Middle East, despite the fighting between Israel and Hamas.
