On 13 December 2022, Helena Dalli, European Commissioner for Equality, attended a Plenary Session debate of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France on the prospects for the two-State solution for Israel and Palestine.
Year 2022 is the deadliest for Palestinians (120 Palestinians killed) in the West Bank since the United Nations started systematically counting fatalities in 2005, when measured on a monthly average. It is also the deadliest year for Palestinian children in the West Bank in 15 years, with 34 children killed by Israeli forces or settlers, with an overall record high settler violence. The EU is actively engaging with our partners in the Middle East, the US and beyond, to explore ways to revive the peace process.
