Recognition of Palestine: a political shift reflecting the failure of Israeli and American policies.
According to Shahab News Agency, Rafat Al-Zahir stated: The process of recognizing Palestine in an increasing manner is an important political step at a sensitive time because this decision confirms that Palestine is a country with a land, people, sovereignty and independent borders.
He emphasized: Although this process has come late, it establishes the fact that occupied Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinian state. It is expected that this action will have positive consequences in international forums such as the United Nations. This process will also lead to a halt to the aggression of the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people.
According to Al-Zahir, the failure to recognize Palestine in the past decades has led to the prolongation of the wars in the region.
