According to the three opposition parties, the ceasefire in the Middle East is a ceasefire in name only. They say war crimes against Palestinians are continuing and that Israel is pursuing an increasingly aggressive settlement policy.
They are calling for four concrete measures:
- a complete arms embargo against Israel
- a ban on the import and sale of products from illegal settlements in the Palestinian territories
- the power for financial regulator CSSF to refuse the issuance of Israeli debt through Luxembourg
- a national framework for autonomous sanctions
The LSAP, the Greens and the Left argue that "doing nothing is not an option".
On Thursday, the Chamber of Deputies will hold a debate on Luxembourg’s policy towards Israel.
