The only sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the establishment of two states, the Government affirms. Such a solution must emerge through dialogue, negotiations, and with strong support from the international community, it adds.
Croatia is closely monitoring all relevant international initiatives, including the recent statement by French President Emmanuel Macron regarding the possible recognition of Palestine. That announcement, along with similar moves by certain European countries, underscores the growing urgency and prominence of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within international relations.
The Republic of Croatia clearly and consistently supports the achievement of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. Our foreign policy position is based on the principles of international law, humanity, and regional stability.
The suffering of civilians in the Gaza Strip is unacceptable, and it is particularly important to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches all affected civilians, especially women and children.
We believe that the only viable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that includes the establishment of two states - Israel and Palestine - living side by side in peace, security, and mutual recognition. This solution must come about through dialogue, negotiations, and with robust support from the international community.
The question of recognizing Palestine is an important political issue for each country, and it would be best for a coordinated decision to be made within the European Union and the broader international community. Croatia stands ready to contribute constructively to these efforts, in line with its international obligations and its responsibility to uphold peace.
