At next week’s United Nations conference in New York, Luxembourg will join the initiative to recognize the State of Palestine.

The movement to recognize a Palestinian state has gained momentum under the leadership of French President Emmanuel Macron. The backdrop to this push is Israel’s two-year-long assault on Gaza since October 7, 2023.

On Monday, Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Luc Frieden told reporters: ‘In recent months, the situation has deteriorated significantly. Countries in Europe and across the world are now showing that a two-state solution remains relevant.

 

He added, ‘For this reason, the Luxembourg government will join the recognition of the State of Palestine at next week’s conference on the two-state solution.’

In July, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would also soon recognize Palestine. Since then, more than a dozen other Western countries have made similar declarations.
