We Support the Goal of a Two-State Solution, Meaning the Peaceful Coexistence of Palestine and Israel

- We support the goal of a two-state solution, meaning the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel. We recognize Israel's right to exist within secure, internationally recognized borders. I would like to remind you that Poland has recognized the statehood of Palestine since 1988 - said Radosław Sikorski after a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Palestine, Dr. Varsen Aghabekian Shahin.

- Palestine has been a priority country in Poland's aid program for years. While providing aid to neighboring, defending Ukraine, we are also supporting the Gaza Strip and the West Bank region. Between 2023 and 2025, Polish humanitarian and development aid for Palestine reached nearly $20 million, with the vast majority of funds transferred through UN agencies - he continued.

- We call for an end to illegal land seizures and settler violence, and for the dismantling of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The West Bank is not part of Israel. We also call for the protection of believers of all religions and for enabling them full access to places of worship - he further stated.

- I conveyed to the Minister that Poland consistently calls for Israel to unblock the financial resources owed to Palestine from customs duties and taxes - he added.
