Palestinian leaders are calling recent moves by Britain, Australia, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state a "game-changer" in the decades-long quest for sovereignty. The diplomatic shift—a break from traditional Western policy—has sparked hope for renewed momentum toward peace.
"This isn't just symbolic—it's irreversible," said Palestinian Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, describing the recognition as a "tangible step" to salvage the two-state solution. 🔥 She emphasized that Israel's expansion of settlements in the West Bank shows "no intention to negotiate," urging economic pressure to hold Israel accountable.
President Mahmoud Abbas praised the decisions, calling them "necessary for lasting peace." The announcements come amid Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza, which Shahin described as a place where "people are systematically murdered." 💔
While acknowledging challenges ahead, Shahin declared: "Tomorrow is historic. We need to amplify this momentum." 🌱 The move signals a potential turning point as global allies rethink strategies to address one of the world's most entrenched conflicts.
