Saudi Arabia Welcomes Canada and Malta’s Plans to Recognize Palestinian State in Sept.
Saudi Arabia has welcomed Canada and Malta’s plans to recognize the Palestinian state in September, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela announced their intentions to recognize the State of Palestine amid growing diplomatic isolation against Israel over Gaza War.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs underscored that the Kingdom commended these moves and described them as pivotal for the two-state solution, urging other nations to take similar steps.
The ministry also emphasized the international community’s consensus on the dire need to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Malta has announced it will officially recognize the State of Palestine this coming September, joining an increasing number of countries such as France and the United Kingdom amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
“Malta has consistently supported the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. As responsible international actors, we must help turn the two-state solution from a concept into a reality,” Christopher Cutajar, Permanent Secretary at Malta’s Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade, said.
At the same time, Canada also revealed plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September as international pressure on Israel is surging over the ongoing starvation crisis in the Palestinian enclave.
“Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations,” Carney told reporters.
