UN General Assembly
2024

If we accept its criminalisation, we open **Pandora’s box**. There is **no viable alternative** to UNRWA. Anyone claiming they can replace it tomorrow is being unrealistic. I urge all of you: **do not remain silent**. I understand Israel’s right to self-defence, but even that has limits. What bothers me most is this binary logic: **you’re either for Israel or for Palestine**. Why can’t we be **for peace**? For **civilian populations**? On recognition: Luxembourg is among the few countries that have not yet recognised Palestine. Several others have recently done so, and that’s commendable. But recognition should not be symbolic—it must have **impact**. Let’s coordinate so that our actions have tangible effects. A two-state solution is essential. **Palestinian peace is Israeli security**—the two are intertwined. Without one, there is no other. If coordination fails, I am considering establishing diplomatic missions in both Israel and Palestine—to symbolically recognise both.
