President Mahmoud Abbas visited Luxembourg on February 15, 2015, and met with the Grand Duke Henri and senior officials.[2] Luxembourg contributes to the support of UNRWA and condemns Israeli settlements.[3][4]

Although it has not yet recognized the Palestinian state, it has consistently voted in favor of resolutions on the Palestine question. However, Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn stated his intention to recognize Palestine once a bigger European power takes the lead and has urged EU member states do so.[5] In June 2020, Luxembourg called for the recognition of Palestine if Israel annexed parts of the West Bank.[6]
