The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed an announcement by the United Kingdom to recognize the Palestine state next September.
In a statement, Taha affirmed that this step is in compliance with international law and relevant UN resolutions, and a historic support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.
He stressed that recognizing the State of Palestine is a political, legal, and moral duty, and constitutes a basis for achieving peace and contributes to protecting and implementing the two-state solution.
He reiterated his call on states that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to do so and support its full membership in the United Nations.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has told his cabinet that the United Kingdom will recognize the state of Palestine by September unless Israel takes “substantive steps” to end its war on Gaza and commits to a lasting peace process.
According to a government statement issued after an emergency cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Starmer said the move could come before the United Nations General Assembly in New York unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire, halts its plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, and supports a political path towards a two-state solution.
