The Beginning of a Process: Western Countries Recognize Palestinian State at UNGA
Western countries are taking a significant step towards achieving a two-state solution as they recognize the Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This development marks the beginning of a new phase in the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Luc Frieden, Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, framed his country’s planned recognition of a Palestinian state as an important move in support of the two-state solution. Addressing delegates during a high-level meeting of heads of state at the United Nations headquarters in New York City on September 22, 2025, Frieden emphasized the need for mutual recognition and peaceful coexistence between Israel and the Palestinians.
