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

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 19:10

The head of Palestinian diplomacy defended today in Lisbon that Portugal "can make an important contribution" to seeking "just and lasting peace," during its term on the Security Council. The statement comes when, according to the same official, "international law is being tested" worldwide. The visit to Lisbon takes place in the context of Portugal's term as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, where the Palestinian question has been the subject of international debate.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected because the country holds a seat on the UN Security Council during 2025, which gives it increased responsibilities in mediating international conflicts. The Palestinian position reinforces the expectation that Portugal will use this influence to advocate for diplomatic solutions and respect for international law in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Selective collection in Vila de Rei reached a historic rate of 50.25% on August 31, meaning more than half of the municipality's urban waste now has a sustainable destination through separation, collection and recycling. The result comes from the municipality's investments in expanding ecopoints, dedicated collection of biowaste and specific services for textile waste, oils and electronic equipment, complemented by environmental awareness campaigns among the population. The reduction in landfill disposal also translates into financial savings for the municipality through the decrease in disposal fees and the Waste Management Fee.
