The war in the Gaza Strip is at the forefront of discussions on the last day of the 60th Munich Security Conference on Sunday. Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion today on the future of Palestinian-Israeli relations, in the presence of former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
The ongoing devastating war in the Gaza Strip had a slight impact on the conference. Speakers at the conference, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, touched on the topic during their speeches, and again spoke in favor of a two-state solution. This provides for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state living in peace side by side with Israel.
In addition, the conference - today, Sunday - is scheduled to once again focus on European capabilities regarding the war in Ukraine. Speakers include: President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Olha Stefanyshina, and Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.
In another event, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell, the Prime Minister of Latvia Ivica Selina, the German politician Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, who chairs the Defense Committee in the German Parliament “Bundestag”, intend to discuss the geopolitical agenda of the European Union.
