Germany will support the UN resolution on the two -state conflict resolution, but has so far rejected the recognition of Palestine. The United States warns that such a step could increase tension.
Germany will support the UN resolution on the two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but is currently not considered appropriate to recognize the Palestinian state. A spokesman for the German government said it on Thursday, TASR writes.
In recent weeks, France, Canada and Australia have announced the intention to recognize Palestine as a state at the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting in recent weeks. In this spirit, representatives of Britain have also said, but at the same time they said they will abandon the plan if Israel takes steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and commit themselves to the long -term peace process.
Support for a two -state solution
“Germany will support a resolution that simply describes the current state of international law,” said the government spokesman, saying that Berlin “always advocated a two -state -based solution and constantly asks for it”.
As Reuters explains, a two -state conflict resolution in the Middle East represents the idea of mutual and peaceful coexistence of the Israelis and Palestinians side by side – the Palestinian state in the territory that Israel occupied in the war in 1967, with the Gaza Strip and the Western Bank
International recognition of Palestine
As a state, Palestine has already recognized more than 140 out of 193 UN Member States, including several EU countries, such as Spain and Ireland. In its establishment in 1993, the Slovak Republic legally received the recognition of the Palestinian State from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
Germany is not planned to be added to the Western partners; The spokesman recalled that Friedrich Merz said a few days ago that Germany is not currently considering it appropriate.
US attitude
The United States, as an ally of Israel, strongly reject any step of its European allies to recognize Palestinian independence. Last week, US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said that the US warned other countries that it would only cause other problems.
