Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to begin the annexation of key parts of the West Bank area on July 1. This move is part of US President Donald Trump's peace plan for the region.
Over the past days, many protest movements have been triggered in the Palestinian regions. On Saturday afternoon, people in Luxembourg also decided to go out into the streets of the capital and join the cause. The Committee for Justice and Peace in the Middle East had made an appeal earlier to protest at Place Clairefontaine.
Over 1,000 deputies from the European Union have voiced their opposition to the annexation, among those ten from the Grand Duchy. UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres also criticised Israel for the planned annexation.
