Portugal officially recognizes the State of Palestine
Portugal has announced its official recognition of the State of Palestine, joining countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, while others, including France, are expected to follow suit in the coming days. The declaration was made on Sunday by Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel in New York, ahead of the opening of the UN General Assembly.
“Recognizing the State of Palestine is the fulfillment of a fundamental, consistent, and broadly accepted policy,” Rangel told reporters. He emphasized that Portugal continues to support the two-state solution as the only path toward a just and lasting peace in the region.
Lisbon’s decision comes at a time of renewed international debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By recognizing Palestine, Portugal seeks to strengthen diplomatic efforts aimed at fostering coexistence and peaceful relations between Israelis and Palestinians.
