The UAE has voiced strong support after ten countries—Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Andorra, Portugal, and San Marino—announced their intention to recognise the State of Palestine.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, called the decision a “historic step” that shows the world is leaning in on the side of justice for the Palestinian people.
A Win for Peace and Sovereignty
According to Sheikh Abdullah, this growing wave of recognition adds momentum to restarting peace efforts in the region. He says it helps revive the political process and pushes forward the vision for an independent, sovereign Palestinian state.
Call for Global Action
The UAE didn’t stop at applause. Sheikh Abdullah urged the rest of the international community to follow suit, stressing that recognising Palestine isn’t just politics—it’s a moral and legal duty.
He believes it’s a crucial move if the world is serious about ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict once and for all.
