Palestine believes in "important contribution" from Portugal for peace at the Security Council

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 16:00

The head of Palestinian diplomacy, Varsen Shahin, defended today in Lisbon that Portugal can give an important contribution to the pursuit of a just and lasting peace during its term on the United Nations Security Council.

Shahin stated that she is confident that Portugal will use its voice and position to reinforce the protection of civilians and defend international law, particularly at a time when it is being tested worldwide.

The meeting in Lisbon marks the expression of Palestine's expectation regarding the role that Portugal may play at the United Nations, highlighting the importance of the country as a non-permanent member of the Security Council.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers benefit from this information because Portugal takes a seat on the UN Security Council, the supreme international security body, and can have influence on decisions about world conflicts. The Palestinian representative is specifically calling on Portugal to defend the protection of civilians and international law, hoping the country will take an active position at a time of global tension.
