"Nobody can have any interest in regional escalation [except Israel],” the German ministry said. “All players in the region [except Israel] are called upon to act responsibly and exercise restraint.”

Did we mention Israel is exempt from international law? That's called supremacy.

Here’s what was actually “asked”:

“We have also engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days and urged them as well to send a clear message to Iran: that escalation is not in Iran’s interest, it’s not in the region’s interest and it’s not in the world’s interest,”

Asking countries not to retaliate against the US proxy's escalations — and a bombing of a foreign embassy at that.

Hopefully the US will take significant actions against Israel, since escalation isn't in the region's or the world's interest. Punishing Israel would be a great way to show the US's desire for de-escalation. For some reason, I think the US will just keep giving them weapons.

So it's not really asking, sounds more like threat plus begging, that is crybullying.
