We will continue to do what we have done to date, namely, use our voice and vote at the UN and EU in support of the Palestinian people and increase funding for agencies, such as UNRWA, when other countries have suspended their funding.

We are working with other countries on the possibility of statehood recognition. We have clearly called for the EU-Israel Association Agreement to be on the table because we believe Israel may have breached the human rights clause. We will continue doing all of these things and we will also continue to call for both Israel and Hamas to accept the ceasefire proposal on the table, and I strongly encourage both sides to do so.
