Erotica 34,929 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Sweden has officially recognized the state of Palestine! Sweden's new government says it has recognized a Palestinian state, a move declared by the prime minister as a priority for the left-leaning minority coalition. The EU member country on Thursday joined only two other Western European countries  Malta and Cyprus  that have officially recognized a Palestinian state. Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said Sweden had decided on the move because the "criteria of international law" had been fulfilled, saying there is "a territory, a people and government." The EU has said that it would recognize a Palestinian state "when appropriate" and has urged that negotiations be resumed as soon as possible to achieve a two-state solution. Earlier this month, British lawmakers held a symbolic vote in favor of recognizing a Palestinian state. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/sweden-recognizes-palestine-state-26565671 Now let's hope more countries follow soon!

RAMROD 117,079 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 What is a state of Palestine? A country? I guess without supports of UN, it is rather difficult to recognise a place as independent country. But I hope Sweden can encourage more countries to follow suit.

It is a country recognized by 135 other countries, 70% of UN members? It's only a matter of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
