Since the brutal attacks by Hamas terrorists on Israel and the subsequent war in the Gaza Strip, which left over 15,000 people dead, the Middle East conflict has once again become the focus of international attention. The fronts are more hardened than ever. On Luxembourg's position in the history of the conflict.

Of course, a little googling is not enough here. The matter is complicated, very complicated indeed, otherwise the Middle East conflict would not have occupied the world for many decades, sometimes more and sometimes less in the public eye.
