A group of UN experts called on all member states to recognize Palestine as a state. The UN panel of experts made the call on Monday (June 3), a week after Spain, Ireland and Norway recognized Palestine.
The UN Special Envoy for Human Rights in the Palestinian Territory, Francesca Albanese, is also part of this high-level UN delegation.
In a statement, the experts said, this recognition will further accelerate the just movement of the Palestinian people demanding their freedom and independence for decades.
In the statement, the experts also said that the prerequisites for the establishment of lasting peace in Palestine and the entire Middle East are the cessation of military operations in Rafah and the declaration of a cease-fire in Gaza soon; And the two-state solution is the only and internationally accepted way out of the insecurity and violence that Palestine and Israel have been facing for generations.
Officials at Israel’s UN mission declined to comment when contacted for comment on the UN expert panel’s statement.
Meanwhile, the officials of Spain, Ireland and Norway, which recently recognized Palestine, said that these three countries will increase the level of efforts for a cease-fire in Gaza from now on.
