Will The Us Also Recognize the Palestinian State? The Vice President's Statement Has Been Revealed
US Vice President JD Vance has stated the condition for recognizing the Palestinian state
US Vice President JD Vance has made it clear that there is no intention to recognize the Palestinian state.
According to the international news agency, the US Vice President said that it is difficult to imagine the recognition of a state in the absence of a functioning government in Gaza.
He made this statement in a media interview before meeting British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, adding that recognizing a state with a dysfunctional and disintegrating government is meaningless.
The US Vice President added that President Trump is committed to America’s clear priorities in the Middle East and will continue to implement them.
It should be noted that JD Vance’s statement has come at a time when the movement to recognize Palestine is intensifying globally.
So far, 144 of the 193 UN member states have recognized Palestine as a state, including China, Russia, India and most developing countries.
Most European Union countries have not yet recognized Palestine, but in recent years Spain, Ireland, Norway and now France have indicated a change in position.
French President Emmanuel Macron recently promised in a letter to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that he would formally announce the recognition of a Palestinian state at the next UN General Assembly.
Experts say that the US vice president’s statement shows that President Trump is sticking to his traditional pro-Israel policy in the Middle East and is distancing himself from international efforts for Palestinian sovereignty.
Middle East experts further say that this American attitude will not only affect the peace process in the region, but may also weaken America’s global reputation and coordination with the UN.
