The immediate release of all hostages and a ceasefire are now within reach. This moment must be seized to pave the way for a lasting #peace in the region, based on the two-state solution. 1/2

On the sad anniversary of Hamas’ barbaric terror attack on Israel, our hearts & thoughts are with the victims, their families and with the hostages still held captive in Gaza.
2 years after the horrors of 7 October 2023, the terrible conflict that has ensued must finally end. 1/1

We welcome the readiness by Russia & the US to adhere to the #NewSTART limits for a year after expiry. More nuclear weapons won’t make anyone safer – neither the US, nor Russia nor the rest of the world. Let us use this time to get to deeper cuts through a new agreement.

The violence against protesters and the detention of various opposition leaders in #Georgia are unacceptable.
We once again call on the Georgian leadership to start a meaningful dialogue with the civil society.

We are appalled by the killing of civilians, including journalists and healthcare workers, in Israeli airstrikes on #NasserHospital. Attacks on hospitals are a flagrant violation of international law. We need an immediate and permanent #ceasefire!

Austria condemns #Israel’s decision to approve thousands of new housing units in the E1 area of the West Bank. This plan violates international law and risks permanently endangering prospects for a two-state solution. We urge the Israeli government to reconsider this decision.

Austria fully supports US efforts to end Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine through high-level diplomacy. It remains essential that no decision is made about Ukraine without Ukraine. #StandByUkraine🇺🇦
