He described it as a strong message on the need to end the occupation and achieve peace on the basis of a two-state solution.

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit also hailed the recognitions as “historic,” noting they add to the decisions made by Spain, Ireland and Norway. He said the momentum reflects growing international consensus, with more than 152 countries now recognising Palestine, and stressed the special significance of Britain’s move.
