The president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmud Abbas, expressed his appreciation on Wednesday for the announcement by Spain, Norway, and Ireland regarding the recognition of the State of Palestine. The recognition is set to materialize on May 28 in these three cases and is seen as a step towards achieving a two-state solution to end the conflict with Israel. Abbas emphasized that this recognition is a contribution towards the international will and legitimacy of the two-state solution.
The Palestinian Presidency welcomed the announcements by the leaders of Spain, Norway, and Ireland, highlighting Spain’s willingness to support the Palestinian people and their rights to their land. Abbas also praised Norway for its support for Palestinian rights in international forums and Ireland for its contributions to the two-state solution. He emphasized the importance of recognizing the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination under International Law.
The Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hussein al-Sheikh, described the recognition of Palestine by various countries as a historic moment of triumph for truth and justice. He thanked the countries that have recognized Palestine and emphasized that this recognition is essential for stability, security, and peace in the region.
The announcements by Spain, Norway, and Ireland bring the total number of United Nations member states recognizing the State of Palestine to 146. While some countries have criticized these decisions, Israel has opposed the recognition of Palestine, further complicating the prospects for a peace agreement.
