It is for this reason and in line with these principles that last Monday we took the decision to recognise a Palestinian state. This much-needed gesture will take full diplomatic effort once a series of conditions are met, such as the release of hostages, the disarmament of Hamas and the establishment of a Palestinian government that excludes this organisation, Hamas. Andorra reaffirms, on the other hand, its support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA. This agency, through its education, health and humanitarian assistance services, is an essential pillar for the protection of millions of Palestinian refugees. In the absence of a political solution, it represents the only institutional support that ensures minimal stability and dignity in the region. As a state committed to multilateralism, Andorra underscores that only dialogue, diplomacy and the pursuit of shared solutions can lead us towards a just and lasting peace. Ladies and gentlemen, the founder of Save the Children, Eglantine Jebb, once said that all wars, just or unjust, disastrous or victorious, are wars against children.
