Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the intention of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Andorra, Portugal and San Marino's to recognise the State of Palestine.
In a statement, Sheikh Abdullah described the move as a historic step that reflects growing international support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent and sovereign state.
He added that the increasing number of countries signalling their intention to recognise Palestine represents positive momentum toward reviving the political process and advancing efforts for a just and lasting peace in the region. These developments, he said, contribute to strengthening regional peace, security and the broader aspirations for development and prosperity.
Sheikh Abdullah also called on the international community to take similar steps, affirming that recognising Palestine is a moral, humanitarian and legal responsibility. Such recognition, he stressed, is essential to achieving a comprehensive and sustainable resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
