Recognition of Palestinian State by Canada, UK, Australia and Portugal a Welcome Step

Srinagar, Sep 22(PTK): The recognition of the Palestinian state by Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Portugal is a welcome development. The Palestinian suffering has surpassed all levels of endurance and patience, yet the world powers seem unmoved by it . Hopefully such steps will speed up the implementation of a solution that brings relief and gives justice to the besieged Palestinians and helps achieve lasting peace in the region . We hope and pray that more and more countries wake up to the injustice and genocide being committed upon Palestinians and recognise the rights of Palestinians over their land.
