Portugal confirms it will recognise Palestinian state

Portugal to Recognise Palestinian State as Gaza Conflict Continues Portugal has announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state amidst ongoing demands for a ceasefire. The decision comes amid escalating conflict in Gaza, with the announcement preceding the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. France, the UK, Canada, and Australia are reportedly set to make similar announcements, while Israel has criticized the move, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning it as "rewarding terror" in the wake of recent attacks.
