Luxembourg intends to recognize Palestine as a state later this month at the UN General Assembly in New York, local media reported Monday.

Last Friday, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution endorsing the “New York Declaration,” which seeks to recognize a Palestinian state and advance a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
