I‘m horrified by the ongoing civilian deaths in Gaza. Iceland condemns all violations of international humanitarian law. Nothing can take priority over the duty to provide medical services to people in need. Iceland supports calls for humanitarian ceasefire.

As the 10th Emergency Special Session of the #UNGA convenes today, Iceland joins calls for a humanitarian pause to facilitate the safe delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza. The civilian suffering and loss of life is heartbreaking.

Horrific news from Gaza with hundreds killed at the Al Ahli Arab Hospital. Iceland condemns any attacks on hospitals. International humanitarian law must be upheld at all times. Civilians have not chosen to be a target in an open battlefield.

Vel gert hjá íslensku stelpunum að leggja Walesverja að velli. Áfram Ísland!

Climate inaction is unacceptable. We have time, but not much time. Past alerts are today’s shocking facts. Present warnings will be tomorrow‘s cascading disasters if we don’t accelerate climate action and implement systemic change. Iceland will do its part. #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Great meeting with Scotland’s First Minister @HumzaYousaf on gender equality and ways for our countries to collaborate and share knowledge.

We need to close the gender pay gap and ensure women‘s economic independence to reach gender equality. We need societies with conditions where this is possible, with strong welfare: parental leave, daycare, and a culture change: the sharing of the 3rd shift burden! #equalpayday

Grateful to an outstanding panel and turnout to Iceland’s and @UN_Women’s event to talk about the critical gender crisis in Afghanistan. We must find solutions to fight the institutionalized framework of gender apartheid that faces the women and girls of Afghanistan.

Iceland and Malawi enjoy a long standing friendship and collaboration. Great meeting President @LAZARUSCHAKWERA to talk about climate action, opportunities in trade and tourism and the progress of gender equality.

Admire SG @antonioguterres’s relentless efforts to push for more climate action and more ambition to fulfill the 2030 Agenda and a better world. Discussed the role the Wellbeing Economy can play for the future & the fact that gender equality is a precondition for many other SDG‘s

Important mid-point meeting with Generation Equality, taking stock of our progress and pushing forward to achieve gender equality and end violence and discrimination against women and girls. #GenerationEquality #UNGA2023

Shocked to hear about the catastrophic flooding in Libya, our thoughts and hearts are with the people affected.

To the victims of this devastating earthquake and their loved ones, our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. To the people of Morocco as they face the aftermath of a catastrophic natural disaster, the Icelandic people’s thoughts and support are with you.

What a pleasure meeting my great friend @Xavier_Bettel and this time in lovely Luxembourg! Good to share our thoughts on democracy, human rights and the fight against the backlash in gender equality and LGBTQI rights.

Pleasure meeting with @HumzaYousaf in Edinburgh today. Iceland and Scotland enjoy a close collaboration and friendship that has only grown stronger in recent years, not least through our common #WEGo goals on the wellbeing of our nations.

An inspiring meeting with @POTUS and my Nordic colleagues in Helsinki today. Important discussions on climate, biodiversity, societal resilience, AI and security, all pressing issues that need common solutions.

A pleasure meeting @PetteriOrpo, new prime minister of Finland. We had a great meeting where we talked about climate, security and the Arctic. And of course the good relationship between 🇮🇸 and 🇫🇮

Delighted to meet again with Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany @Bundeskanzler, this time in Reykjavík during the #CouncilOfEuropeSummit. We spoke about the various topics of the summit, as well as innovation and green energy.
