BRUSSELS, Thursday, October 28, 2021 (WAFA) – Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh Wednesday reiterated the call on Belgium to recognize the State of Palestine.
Prime Minister Shtayyeh renewed his call
for Belgium to recognize the State of Palestine while stressing the importance
of protecting the two-state solution amidst continued Israeli policies that aim
to destroy every opportunity towards the embodiment of an independent and
sovereign State of Palestine.
He made his call during a meeting with Eliane
Tello, the Belgian Parliament Speaker, in the
presence of Riyad Al-Malki,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine, and
Abdel Rahim Al-Farra, the
Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the European Union, Belgium, and
Luxembourg.
The Prime Minister briefed Tello on the ongoing Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, including land expropriation, house demolitions, water theft, settler terror, the continuation of the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, and the disruption of the Gaza reconstruction process, in addition to preventing the holding of elections in occupied Jerusalem.
