Luxembourg intends to recognize the State of Palestine later this month, Prime Minister Luc Frieden and Foreign Minister Xavier Bettel told a parliamentary committee.
Speaking to journalists late Monday, Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Luc Frieden said that “the situation on the ground has deteriorated considerably in recent months”.
“A movement is now emerging in Europe and around the world to demonstrate that the two-state solution is still relevant,” Frieden said.
“That is why the Luxembourg government intends to join those who recognise the State of Palestine at next week’s conference on the two-state solution.”
Countries including Britain, Australia, Canada and Belgium have said they plan to recognise a Palestinian state at the meeting at the UN General Assembly.
This announcement comes amid growing calls by European leaders for an end to the ongoing Zionist genocidal war in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
Last week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the EU executive would be adopting a tougher stance toward the Zionist entity regarding the genocidal war against Gaza.
