EU Observer (8 May 2026)

“Business as usual is not working,” Palestinian diplomat Riyad Mansour said in an interview with EUobserver, referring to the EU’s long-standing approach of dialogue with Israel, despite its continued violations of international law.

As a permanent observer of the state of Palestine to the UN since 2005, Mansour has dedicated his life to defending the rights of those in Gaza and the West Bank, advocating for the respect of international law and the need to ensure a viable two-state solution. 

During an official visit to Brussels on Thursday (7 May), he warned reporters that the ceasefire remained fragile after at least nine Palestinians were killed and several others injured in a series of Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
