At least 1,000 people have been killed in the escalated conflict as a result, and 120,000 others have been displaced, the World Health Organization has said.

On the Syrian conflict, the German foreign minister called for an extension to a six-day cease-fire in northeastern Syria. "It is now essential for guns to fall silent permanently," he said.

"This war in Syria can only be resolved politically," the minister said. "Every military success there, as big as it may be, will always remain a short-term one."

Commenting on the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri following massive protests in Lebanon, Maas said he closely followed the situation, vowing to help achieve stability there.

He hoped that the resignation of the government wouldn't lead to instability of the country, adding "we don't need political vacuum right now in Lebanon."
