Australia to Recognize Palestine at UN General Assembly
Australia will formally vote to recognize the State of Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly session in September, 24 Daily News reports. This decision marks a significant shift in Australia’s foreign policy amidst increasing international demands to end the Israeli occupation and promote a fair political resolution to the Palestinian issue. Diplomatic sources have indicated that the decision followed extensive discussions with international allies and is intended to support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This development occurs amid growing global pressure on Israel to cease violations in Palestinian territories, particularly considering the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 24 Daily News will continue its coverage of regional and international responses to Australia’s decision and its impact on the future of the Middle East peace process.
