Luxembourg to recognize Palestine as an independent state

Luxembourg will recognize Palestine as an independent state. The announcement will be made at the UN General Assembly, along with France and the UK. The prime minister and foreign minister informed the country’s parliamentary commission. The political news outlet Politico reported this information on Monday (September 15). It said that a decision on this matter will be made by the end of this month. Earlier, several European countries, including France, Belgium and the UK, announced their recognition of Palestine at the UN General Assembly session. Last July, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France wanted to recognize Palestine as an independent state. In the same month, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also expressed such a desire. Starmer said that Britain would recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September if the Israeli government failed to end the terrible situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and promise long-term peace. Later, other countries also indicated their plans to recognize Palestine. On the other hand, on the night of August 16, Israel launched a full-scale ground operation to capture Gaza City. According to various international media reports, the United States fully supported this operation. Although it has called on its brotherly country to complete it quickly. It is worth noting that currently 147 countries have recognized Palestine as an independent state. Which is 75 percent of the entire world. However, such support cannot stop the genocide in Gaza.
