EU states to recognize Palestinian statehood
At a recent World Economic Forum special meeting in Riyadh, Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, announced that several European member states are poised to officially recognize Palestinian statehood by the end of May. This move reflects a significant diplomatic development within the European Union.
The recognition of Palestinian statehood has been a subject of global discourse, with 140 out of the 193 UN member states already having extended recognition to the State of Palestine.
However, on April 18, the United States exercised its veto power blocking a Security Council resolution aimed at granting full UN membership to Palestine.
Following the vote, Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour conveyed a resolute message to the council, emphasizing that the failure of the resolution to pass would not deter the Palestinian people's determination nor diminish their resolve.
The impending recognition by European Union member states underscores a growing international consensus in support of Palestinian statehood and represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
