Palestinian Mission to the UK - 2025

Palestinian Mission to the UK – The UK Should Join the World Majority – Recognise the State of Palestine! (13.6.2025)

How world leaders, faced with a choice between complicity and courage, enabled genocide. How they denied Palestinians our inalienable right to self-determination and return, and chose to support occupation over freedom, apartheid over equality. Today, after decades of appeasement and impunity, Israel has entrenched one of the longest military occupations in modern history, one that seeks not only to control Palestinian life but to extinguish it.

Spain: Prime Minister – Pedro Sanchez -Urges EU to Recognize the State of Palestine! (1.12.2023)

He said he has heard from representatives of Muslim nations that Western peace conferences do not work because promises are not complied with.

“I think they are right. Because all these years, we’ve watched as Israel has systematically been occupying Palestinian territory in the West Bank. And now we are seeing what’s happening in Gaza,” said Sanchez.

Sanchez expressed his concern that without peace, the conflict could spill into other nations like Lebanon, Egypt or Jordan and destabilize the Mediterranean region.

“Do we really want to have two open fronts? One in the Middle East and one in Ukraine? Politics and diplomacy should help prevent that, and that is what the Spanish government defends,” Sanchez said.

Of note, nine of the 27 countries in the EU have already recognized the State of Palestine. In 2014, Sweden became the first EU member state to unilaterally recognize it.
