New Delhi ( The Indian View team) : Ministers from Germany and Norway had to call off a trip to Beirut on Monday (June 1, 2026) as Israel continued its assault on the city, the pair’s press services said.

German Minister for international development Reem Alabali Radovan and Norwegian counterpart Asmund Aukrust had to abort and head back to Berlin “for military reasons” as they approached Beirut airport owing to a “rapidly worsening situation.

The ministers had hoped to make the visit to show solidarity with the Lebanese people, but their German military aircraft finally had to land in Cyprus ahead of a return to Berlin, Norwegian daily VG reported.
