Palestinian Presidency: “The establishment of our independent state does not require permission or legitimacy from anyone”

The Palestinian presidency confirmed that the Palestinian state exists with the recognition of the entire world, and that international recognition of it continues to confirm that the embodiment of its establishment does not require permission or legitimacy from anyone, stressing that terrorism is embodied in the Israeli occupation.

In response to the Israeli Knesset’s approval of a draft resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement today, reported by the Wafa Agency: “There is no peace or security for anyone without the establishment of a Palestinian state in accordance with international legitimacy, and terrorism is embodied in the occupation that wages continuous aggression to kill children, women and the elderly.”

Abu Rudeineh added: “The Palestinian state exists with the recognition of the entire world, and there are 149 member states in the United Nations that recognize the State of Palestine.”

Abu Rudeineh pointed out that the Israeli occupation’s decisions confirm its insistence on pushing the entire region into the abyss, holding the United States responsible for its bias and unlimited support for the occupation.

He noted that peace will not be achieved without establishing an independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as its capital based on the June 4, 1967 line.

Abu Rudeineh explained that the UN Security Council resolutions, the General Assembly resolutions and the international consensus have brought the State of Palestine to observer status in the United Nations and raised the flag of the State of Palestine alongside the countries of the world that have recognized it.

He called on the countries of the world that have not recognized the State of Palestine to recognize it immediately and support its obtaining full membership in the United Nations to protect the rights of the Palestinian people, foremost of which is their right to self-determination.
