Greece May Recognize the Palestinian State
The Committee of Foreign Affairs and National Defense of the Hellenic Parliament unanimously approved the text of a special resolution, which calls on the government to recognize the Palestinian state, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the Athens News Agency.
According to the committee members, the recognition of the Palestinian state will help to create a constructive atmosphere for the resumption of the peace process.
The text of the special resolution will be read by the President of Parliament Nicos Vutsis at the special plenary meeting on Tuesday, December 22 in the presence of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who will be given the text of the resolution.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has repeatedly said that Athens supports the creation of an independent Palestinian state with the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.
