Australia hinted that “recognition of a Palestinian state could help move the stalled peace process forward and confront extremist forces in the Middle East.”
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said, “Recognizing a Palestinian state, which can only exist side by side with a secure Israeli state, will not only provide the Palestinians with an opportunity to realize their aspirations, but it will also strengthen the forces of peace and undermine extremism.”
According to Agence France-Presse, Wong added: “The failures of this approach on the part of everyone over the decades, such as the refusal even on the part of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to address the issue of a Palestinian state, cause great frustration,” adding that “the international community is now studying the issue of a Palestinian state as a means to achieve The two-state solution.”
Britain, Ireland, Malta, Slovenia, and Spain discussed the idea of recognizing a Palestinian state, and in 2014, Sweden, which includes a large Palestinian community, was the first country in the European Union to recognize such a state, and it was preceded by six other European countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania.
