The Official Declaration of Recognition will take place even before next week’s High-Level Conference, it added.

    Only if Hamas disarms.

    In other words, the Gazans have to unconditionally surrender to Israel first and then those nations will “recognize Palestine as a nation” which does nothing at all to protect said Gazans from being exterminated to the last man, woman and child by Israel.

    Unsurprisingly, the movement top “recognize” Palestine like this was started by Britain, the same country which still now runs surveillance flights over Gaza and gives the data to Israel, has old ladies arrested as terrorists for demonstrating against that Genocide and has a long tradition in politics of using the strategy of “loudly announcing a measure that looks will do one thing, whilst in fact doing nothing or the opposite” in order to defuse public opinion pressure to actually act to solve something.

    Most countries participating in the British led version are countries such as Belgium and Canada with governments that support the Zionists and their Genocide (edit: whilst the public opinion there is strongly against the Genocide, hence the need to make it seem they’re doing something about it whilst in practice doing nothing)

    This is Smoke & Mirrors bullshit, so good on the government of Portugal (my homeland, and until now a fucking disgrace on the subject of Palestine and Israel, more so given that the country is right next to Spain which behaves very differently, but at least this once they’re - surprisingly, more so because the “conservatives” are in power - not as usual being the poodle for nations like Britain) for distancing itself from the Theatrical Performance led by the Brits.
