Min­is­ter Fay­ot vis­it­ed the Occu­pied Pales­tin­ian Ter­ri­to­ries (OPT) from 5 to 8 Sep­tem­ber 2022. The mis­sion main­ly cov­ered human­i­tar­i­an projects sup­port­ed by the Lux­em­bourg Devel­op­ment Coop­er­a­tion while giv­ing an overview of the devel­op­ment aspect and allow­ing a meet­ing with the Pales­tin­ian Author­i­ty. The planned meet­ing with the Israeli Author­i­ty could not take place due to diary con­flicts. The vis­its and meet­ings were in the fol­low­ing regions and cities: East Jerusalem, Area C (Abu Nawar), Beth­le­hem, Hebron and Ramallah.

The mis­sion allowed Min­is­ter Fay­ot to see first-hand the many over­lap­ping chal­lenges, root­ed in pro­longed social and polit­i­cal insta­bil­i­ty and ampli­fied by glob­al eco­nom­ic, envi­ron­men­tal and health shocks.
