In what may yet emerge as one of the most significant and worrying developments in recent years, reports are coming out that Argentina and several other Latin American states are on the verge of recognising a Palestinian state along 1967 lines. This would follow Brazil’s decision to follow such a course of action last week (see previous entry).
The BBC Monitoring Service produced the following report based on the Palestinian Authority’s WAFA website.
From BBC Monitoring:
“Yasir Abd-Rabbuh, secretary of PLO Executive Committee, has said that the Brazilian recognition of the independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borderline has encouraged other countries to recognize the Palestinian state.“In a statement he made to the Voice of Palestine radio this morning, Abd-Rabbuh said that President of Argentina Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has stressed, in a phone conversation she held with President Mahmud Abbas on 5 December evening, that her country intends to recognize the independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borderline.
“He added that President Kirchner told the president that recognizing the Palestinian state is not only a political act but rather a moral one.
“Abd-Rabbuh considered that the Brazilian and Argentinean recognition of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borderline will encourage other countries to do the same.
“I”t is worth mentioning that Brazil had announced, on 3 December, its recognition of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borderline.
“Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated the stance in a letter to President Mahmud Abbas received by PNA Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki”.
Update: The Chinese news agency Xinhua is also reporting that the same Palestinian official believes several Latin American states will move along such lines “within the coming few hours.”
