Mattarella Advocates for Palestinian Statehood During Luxembourg Visit

Luxembourg City: The Palestinians must be allowed to have their own state, President Sergio Mattarella said in Luxembourg Wednesday. Speaking on the second and final day of his official visit, Mattarella emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages by Hamas.

According to Ansa News Agency, Mattarella underscored that the two peoples, two states solution, though it may seem unattainable in the current situation, remains the only viable path forward. He stressed the importance of working towards a historical perspective that allows Palestinians to establish their own state, while also ensuring the security of Israel.

Mattarella’s remarks highlighted the need to put aside suffering and resentment in pursuit of lasting peace in the region. His statements come amid ongoing tensions, underscoring the international community’s interest in resolving the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.
