FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The European Parliament (EP) has sought to adopt a “united” mechanism for handling the issue of recognizing Palestine as an independent state.
As an increasing number of European countries have been unilaterally calling for the recognition of Palestine as an independent state, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Wednesday that the bloc needs to forge “a united and strong message” to influence the trend.
Mogherini made the remarks at a meeting of lawmakers from the bloc’s 28 member states in Strasbourg, France, to discuss the issues of recognizing Palestine as an independent state.
Mogherini said at the meeting that the main purpose of the move is to form an independent Palestinian state.
The EU lawmakers were to put the issue of recognizing Palestine as an independent state to vote on Thursday. The vote, however, was deferred until December due to differences among the lawmakers.
During the Wednesday debate, one of the lawmakers described Israel as a regime “of child killers and land robbers.”
Mogherini has called for the creation of a Palestinian state within the next five years.
Last month, Sweden became the first major European country to officially recognize the state of Palestine, confirming the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
Some other European countries, including Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland, are among 130 nations that have already recognized a Palestinian state.
On November 24, Israel’s ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor criticized European states over efforts to recognize Palestine as an independent state.
Palestinians are seeking to create an independent state on the territories of the West Bank, East al-Quds (Jerusalem), and the besieged Gaza Strip and are demanding that Israel withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories.
