The Palestinian Authority’s ambassador to the United Nations hailed recent recognitions of an independent Palestinian state by major world powers, saying the momentum will increase international pressure on Israel.
PA Ambassador Riyad Mansour made the remarks in Arabic-language interviews and statements after the UK, Australia, Canada, and Portugal announced formal recognition of Palestine on Sunday.
Mansour said the move signaled that “soon, the entire world would recognize an independent Palestinian state.”
The ambassador added that “these are only examples of practical measures that will multiply and expand to limit this illegal occupation until Netanyahu and his government kneel and submit to the will of the world and the people.”
Israel has expressed that it will take punitive measures against countries recognizing Palestine, with Israeli diplomats calling the move a “reward” for the October 7th massacres.
