Jordan welcomes Australia's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood
AMMAN — Jordan on Sunday welcomed the announcement by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese regarding his government's intention to officially recognise the State of Palestine during the upcoming UN General Assembly session in September. A Foreign Ministry statement described the move as a 'significant step in the right direction towards ending the occupation and ensuring the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of an independent state based on the two-state solution.' Sufyan Qudah, the ministry's spokesperson, commended the announcement by the Australian prime minister, noting that it aligns with international efforts to broaden recognition of the State of Palestine on the pre-June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. He reaffirmed Jordan's commitment to working alongside Arab nations and international partners to support the Palestinian people's right to freedom, end the occupation, achieve self-determination, and establish their independent state on their national homeland. Albanese said Monday that Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. "Until Israeli and Palestinian statehood is permanent, peace can only be temporary," he told reporters, according to AFP. "Australia will recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own." Several countries, including France, Britian and Canada, have announced plans to recognise statehood for Palestinians since Israel launched a bombardment of Gaza nearly two years ago in response to the Hamas attacks. Albanese added that he had received assurances from the Palestinian Authority that there would be "no role for the terrorists of Hamas in any future Palestinian state,' AFP reported. "There is a moment of opportunity here, and Australia will work with the international community to seize it," he said.
