Malta acknowledges state of Palestine

(MENAFN) Malta will officially recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session in September, Prime Minister Robert Abela confirmed.

In a statement posted to Facebook on Tuesday evening, Abela emphasized that the move reflects Malta’s dedication to promoting a lasting peace in the Middle East.

The announcement followed similar declarations made earlier in the day by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and recently by France, signaling a growing shift among Western nations toward recognizing Palestinian statehood.

Malta had initially intended to make the recognition during a UN conference on Palestine in June, but the event was postponed.
