In a joint announcement released today, these five nations have formally recognized the State of Palestine as a legitimate and independent entity. The decision follows weeks of diplomatic efforts and reflects a shift in international relations following the Biden administration’s recognition of the Palestinian Authority. Israeli officials have reacted negatively, characterizing the move as a “huge reward for terrorism” and asserting that it undermines the prospects for a two-state solution. The declaration follows years of negotiations and represents a significant development in the complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
