Malgré la violence et la brutalité du conflit, il existe encore, des côtés israélien et palestinien, des femmes et des hommes qui œuvrent pour le dialogue : des personnes qui cherchent à construire des ponts et à s’engager pour la paix, faisant preuve d’un immense courage.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

🇫🇷 J’ai participé à une conférence à Paris avec la société civile israélienne et palestinienne.

Nous continuons à nous mobiliser pour la paix dans la région et pour une solution à deux États, plus menacée que jamais.

Merci à @jnbarrot pour son accueil !

Good exchange with the SG of the Permanent Court of Arbitration @PCA_CPA , of which Luxembourg is a member.

We reaffirmed the importance of international law & the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and arbitration, not force.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

Pleasure to welcome Doreen Bogdan-Martin @ITUSecGen , Secretary General of @ITU .

🇱🇺 continues to support multilateral dialogue on the governance of today’s emerging technologies, whether AI, satellite technologies, or other digital innovations shaping our future.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

🇱🇺🇧🇷 Our growing Luxembourg community in Brazil is an important bridge between our countries and a key asset for strengthening bilateral relations.

The EU–Mercosur agreement is an important testament to open trade and economic opportunities.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

🇱🇺🇧🇷 Happy to welcome Mauro Vieira @ItamaratyGovBr to Luxembourg.

While different in size, geography, & population, 🇧🇷🇱🇺enjoy a longstanding partnership built on shared values & strong people-to-people ties.

Our discussions focused on: bilateral relations, EU–Brazil relations.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

Great discussions w/ @EUCssrMcGrath in Luxembourg.

Peace, democracy, and the rule of law are at the heart of the European project.

Safeguarding these values, including media freedom & a strong, independent civil society, is an ongoing task that requires our constant commitment.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

We exchanged views on regional and global developments and reaffirmed our shared commitment to multilateralism, international law, and human rights.

🇱🇺 reiterated its support for 🇬🇹’s efforts to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

Pleased to welcome @CRMartinezGT to 🇱🇺.

We took an important step in strengthening 🇬🇹–🇱🇺 relations with the signing of a General Cooperation Agreement.

👇Listen to my Doorstep ahead of #Gymnich 🇪🇺 in Limassol🇨🇾 On the agenda:

🔷Working session with @DrSJaishankar 🇮🇳  & @FaisalbinFarhan 🇸🇦
🔷 Russia‘s war against Ukraine

https://t.co/81El4Hd79a

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

Happy to have participated in #GlobSec2026 in Prague.

Joined a panel on Europe’s role in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Also met Czech President @prezidentpavel, Prime Minister @AndrejBabis, Foreign Minister @petr_macinka, and Commissioner @JozefSikela.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

3/ We also discussed strengthening our bilateral ties.

For 15 years, 🇱🇺 has had an embassy in Abu Dhabi, our only diplomatic representation in the region, which also helped bring our citizens safely back to 🇱🇺 during the recent crisis in the Middle East.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

1/ It was an honour and a pleasure to welcome His Highness Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Luxembourg today. The United Arab Emirates remains an important partner, trusted friend and ally of Luxembourg. 🇱🇺🤝🇦🇪

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

2/ We discussed the situation in the Middle East, including Hormuz and the wider implications for regional stability. Luxembourg stands in solidarity with the UAE following the recent attacks by Iran on its territory and continues to support diplomacy as the path to lasting peace

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

3/ The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains catastrophic, and settler violence in the West Bank is alarming. Luxembourg continues to call for the EU to take appropriate measures in response to the actions of the Israeli government.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

1/ How long will we continue to tolerate this kind of behaviour from 🇮🇱 politicians? Once again, it reflects a profound lack of respect, dignity and humanity among members of the government.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

2/ Mr Ben-Gvir’s behaviour towards the passengers of the Global Sumud flotilla is unacceptable. All detainees must be treated with dignity and released without delay. We have conveyed a clear message to the Ambassador of Israel to Luxembourg to express our indignation.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

In these challenging times, Luxembourg remains firmly committed to supporting peace and stability in the region.

We will continue to stand up for international law and provide humanitarian assistance to those most affected by the crisis.

[Xavier Bettel @Xavier_Bettel]

Essential exchange with the Ambassadors of the League of Arab States accredited to Luxembourg.

The Middle East is facing unprecedented instability and immense suffering among civilian populations.
