Paris [France], August 2: France, Malta and Canada will officially do so at this year's UN General Assembly. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that his country will officially recognize the State of Palestine on that occasion if Israel does not quickly cease hostilities and move towards ending the war in the Gaza Strip , as well as facilitating urgent humanitarian relief operations in the Gaza Strip.
Tel Aviv will certainly take some action to prevent London from officially recognizing the State of Palestine. An international conference on Palestine has just opened at the United Nations with the aim of promoting a peaceful political solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, as well as moving towards the establishment of an independent, sovereign and territorial Palestinian State coexisting peacefully with the State of Israel in the Middle East. The EU is now planning to impose strong sanctions on Israel for obstructing urgent international humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip.
All of the above new moves demonstrate the US and Israel's determination to block a peaceful political solution to the Israel-Palestine situation, with the core content being the establishment of an independent Palestinian State. The above moves promote the trend of officially recognizing the State of Palestine.
This trend has the most impact and disadvantage for Israel and the US in terms of international politics and law. The recognition of France, Canada, the UK and Malta is all the more noteworthy and weighty because France, the UK and Canada are members of the G7, France and the UK are permanent members of the UN Security Council and Malta is a member of the EU. The trend is being promoted and a new situation is being created. The US and Israel will continue to defy but will inevitably be increasingly embarrassed in many aspects.
