Malta Reveals Plans to Recognize Palestine in September
(MENAFN) Malta will formally recognize the state of Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly this September, Prime Minister Robert Abela confirmed.
In a Facebook post published Tuesday evening, Abela stated, "Our country's position reflects our commitment to finding a solution in favor of lasting peace in the Middle East."
This announcement closely followed a similar move by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer earlier in the day, and came just days after France disclosed its own intentions to extend recognition to Palestine.
Malta had originally intended to make the declaration in June during a scheduled UN conference on Palestine. Prime Minister Abela first outlined those plans in May. However, the event was postponed, delaying the formal recognition until September.
