The Arab League has welcomed a wave of international recognition for Palestine this week, with Britain, Canada, Australia, and Portugal joining the growing list of countries endorsing statehood. 🕊️
Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit called the moves a "correction of a historical error" in a social media post, adding they reflect public demands to support Palestinian self-determination. 🌟 "We anticipate more impactful recognitions soon," he declared.
British PM Keir Starmer emphasized the need for a two-state solution, while Australia\'s leadership stated recognition aligns with Palestinians\' "legitimate aspirations." Portugal made its announcement at the UN, urging immediate ceasefire talks and humanitarian aid access. 🇵🇹
Israel\'s PM Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the decisions as "rewarding terrorism," vowing no Palestinian state would exist west of the Jordan River. Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas praised the recognitions as vital for "lasting peace."
The developments come ahead of a high-profile UN conference on Middle East peace co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia. 🌐
