On Monday (22), Lula will participate in the second session of the International High Level Conference for the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the solution of two states, convened by France and Saudi Arabia.

According to him, from the Brazilian perspective, “sustainable peace can only be achieved in the region if both parties can negotiate on equal terms, which includes the state capacity of Palestine.”
