Doha (UNA/QNA) – The State of Qatar welcomed the announcement by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the Republic of Portugal of their official recognition of the State of Palestine, considering these recognitions a victory for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed, in a statement today, that these recognitions are consistent with international legitimacy, relevant Security Council resolutions, and the New York Declaration on the implementation of the two-state solution, and contribute to enhancing the chances of achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region.
The Ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's call to all states that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to take similar steps that reflect a commitment to international law.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also affirmed the State of Qatar's firm and permanent position in supporting the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, based on international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution, ensuring the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
