In the past two days, 10 countries have newly recognized the Palestinian state. What do ordinary people in western countries think of the Palestinian state being recognized by more and more countries in the international community? What is their attitude towards the status of Palestine and the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue?

Residents of Brussels Henry:Recognizing the Palestinian State is a beginning, but it should have been done many, many years ago, and it came too late. I support the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people, who I think have been fighting for their rights for a long time, and I think the genocide that is taking place is intolerable.

Residents of Brussels West Seychelles:I think this is a good thing because everyone must have a country, a land, a home.The Palestinians are still suffering, and this is a tragedy.

Residents of Brussels Alberto:The ¡°Two-State Plan¡± is the only viable long-term solution for peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis.The European and American positions on the Israeli issue are inconsistent, and we should independently formulate our own foreign policy on this issue.

Residents of Sydney:I think it's good that Australia recognizes the Palestinian state, although it's a little late, but it's better than nothing. I hope this will bring positive results, and I hope that the "two-state solution" can be implemented peacefully, which will be a perfect ending.

Resident of Vancouver Amy:Israel is killing innocent people. Some big countries and the United Nations call this a criminal act. This is genocide. I have seen it with my own eyes, so it is actually quite disgusting. The United States supports Israel and there are still countries sending weapons to it, which is simply unbelievable. After we experienced World War I and World War II, this is still happening in the 21st century. It's horrible and people never learn the lessons of history.

Residents of Vancouver:What¡¯s going on in the world? you can¡¯t take the land of the Palestinians, it belongs to them, you can¡¯t drive them away.

Residents of Vancouver Monier:It¡¯s like someone came here to move me to Alaska. They let someone else take my place, why? why should I give them my house, land, home, everything? it¡¯s impossible, no one would accept that. You hear how the children in Gaza say, ¡°No, I don¡¯t go anywhere, I want to die here. This is my country, this is my history, I don¡¯t go anywhere.¡±

London residentsLizzie is£ºI think this is the right decision, and this recognition is what the Palestinians deserve.

Residents of London Jars:I think it¡¯s a moral stance, and the question is whether the British government will make policies to support Palestine, because saying it¡¯s one thing and making it a reality is another.

Palestine Seeks to Build a State

The international community generally believes that the only way to solve the Palestinian issue lies in implementing the "two-state solution", that is, establishing an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, enjoying full sovereignty, and fundamentally realizing the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel, the harmonious coexistence of Arab and Jewish peoples, and lasting peace in the Middle East.

In November 1947, the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 on the division of Palestine, dividing the Palestinian territory, establishing a Jewish state and an Arab state with an area of 1,15,000 square kilometers. However, the Arab state failed to be established because the majority of Arab countries opposed the resolution at the time. During the First Middle East War in 1948, Israel occupied most of the territory of the Arab states stipulated in Resolution 181. During the Third Middle East War in 1967, Israel occupied the entire territory of the Arab States stipulated in Resolution 181.

In May 1964, the Palestinian Liberation Organization was established and recognized in 1974 as the only legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. In 1988, the Palestinian Liberation Organization announced in Algeria the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, but its borders were not determined. After the Middle Eastern Pact in Madrid in 1991, Palestine negotiated and signed a series of agreements such as the Oslo Agreement with Israel, recovering roughly 2,500 square kilometers of land in a row and achieving limited autonomy in parts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. But due to differences in stance, international and regional political climate phantasms, after the late 1990s, the Palestinian peace talks did not make any substantial progress. In 2000, Israel's then-leader, Sauron,

The recognition of the Palestinian state by the international community is one of the important steps to implement the "two-state solution". After the proclamation of the Palestinian state in 1988, it has now been officially recognized by more than two-thirds of the United Nations Member States. In 2012, the 67th United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution formally granting Palestine the status of observer state in the United Nations. However, the United States has long favored Israel on the Palestinian-Israeli issue and refused to recognize the Palestinian state. In April 2024, the United States, as a permanent member of the Security Council, vetoed a draft Security Council resolution on Palestine's application for full membership of the United Nations with one vote. The relevant policies of the United States have aroused dissatisfaction among more and more countries, including its Western allies, and the international community's call for the recognition of the Palestinian state and the implementation of the "two-state solution" is growing.
