President Pirc Musar emphasized that a just and lasting solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict is vital not only for regional stability but also for international peace and security.

For his part, Foreign Minister Shahin thanked Slovenia for its continued support and welcomed Ljubljana’s efforts to advocate for Palestinian rights on the global stage. He noted that stronger cooperation between Slovenia and Palestine could pave the way for greater cultural, educational and economic exchanges.
The meeting comes at a time when international attention is once again focused on the Middle East, with growing calls in Europe and beyond for renewed diplomatic engagement to resolve the long-standing conflict. Slovenia, a member of the European Union, has repeatedly voiced support for peace initiatives that uphold international law and the right of Palestinians to an independent state.
Slovenia remains one of the most vocal supporters of Palestinian statehood and the two-state solution. We are calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and respect for international law. Our first priority is the protection of civilians – starving the civilian population is unacceptable, She post on X formerly twitter.
