ALL countries should recognise Palestinian statehood to ensure peace, a group of United Nations experts said today.
The independent authorities on human rights urged all countries to join the 146 nations that already recognise the state of Palestine and to use all political and diplomatic resources to help bring about an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
They said the recognition was an important acknowledgement of the rights of the Palestinian people and “a precondition for lasting peace in Palestine and the entire Middle East.”
