A group of experts appointed by the UN called on all countries to recognize the state of Palestine as a precondition for lasting peace in the Middle East. “All states must follow the example of 146 United Nations member states and recognize the state of Palestine and use all political and diplomatic resources at their disposal to bring about an immediate ceasefire in Gaza,” they said on Monday. “This recognition is an important acknowledgement of the rights of the Palestinian people and their struggles and suffering towards freedom and independence,” the experts added.
