Lahbib expressed her doubts about the influence of the United Nations in the war in Gaza (Anatolia)
Belgian Foreign Minister Hajja Habib confirmed on Wednesday that her country's recognition of the State of Palestine is something it will take into consideration when the time is right, as she put it.
She added to Habib that the United Nations decision regarding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip during the month of Ramadan has no results on the ground, and constitutes a real question mark about the influence of the United Nations in the conflict.
For his part, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said that his country will recognize Palestine as a sovereign state, so it will have a place in the United Nations.
Yesterday, Tuesday, several Spanish media outlets quoted Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez as saying that his country would recognize the Palestinian state by next July.
The Arab countries and the European Union agreed during a meeting in Spain last November that the two-state solution is the only solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In 2022, the Belgian Parliament approved a draft resolution calling for the recognition of the State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel, and considered this recognition as Belgium’s contribution to the solution based on coexistence between the two states.
Since 1988, 139 out of 193 countries in the United Nations have recognized Palestinian statehood.
