Berlin, Germany: A surprise attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas against Israel risks provoking a 'major regional escalation', Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Saturday, adding that 'other' actors in the Middle East could join the hostilities.

'This terrorism by Hamas once again moves the region farther from peace,' Baerbock said in a statement.
