“For this reason, the Maltese government has made the principled decision to formally recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September,” he said.
Malta says they want “lasting peace” in the Middle East
Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela previously announced his decision, a former British colony, and on Facebook he recognized the Palestinian state and said it was part of the country’s efforts “for enduring peace in the Middle East.”

Israeli UN ambassador Danny Danon attended the conference on Tuesday, inspiring criticism of the 125 countries participating in a new perception of the Palestinian state, saying, “Some people are fighting terrorists and militant troops.
“Our hostages are suffering in the Hamastero Tunnel in Gaza, but these countries choose to engage in empty statements rather than investing their efforts in releases,” Danon said. “This is hypocrisy, a waste of time justifying terrorism and distancing the potential for regional progress.”
