The recognition of the State of Palestine by Norway🇳🇴, Spain 🇪🇸, & Ireland 🇮🇪 today, along with 146 countries previously, incl. Sweden 🇸🇪 in 2014, is a vital right of the Palestinian ppl. 🇵🇸 that the int’l community should fulfill & which they are entitled to.
It is an important step towards ending the Israeli occupation, which has subjected the Palestinian people to 76 years of suffering, marked by numerous massacres & war crimes.
These recognitions, along with those expected very soon, are a very important message to the Israeli occupation state & its accomplices about the urgent need to immediately stop the genocide in Gaza & the war crimes in the West Bank. They also call for an end to the denigration of & disdain for int’l law & int’l institutions such as the Int’l Court of Justice-ICJ, Int’l Criminal Court- ICC, the United Nations & its agencies like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees-UNRWA.
The message from the countries recognizing the State of Palestine to the world is that the approach of apartheid & colonialism is rejected & leads to int’l isolation.
The people of the State of Palestine highly appreciate these recognitions, incl. the wise decision taken 10 yrs. ago by the Kingdom of Sweden 🇸🇪 to recognize the state of Palestine 🇵🇸, thus upholding justice & noble principles.
We encourage other countries to follow suit & recognize the State of Palestine, & we thank everyone who is sharing in our historic joy. ✌️🇵🇸
