Muscat : The Sultanate of Oman has welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's announcement regarding the United Kingdom's intention to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.
In a statement issued today by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oman reiterated its call to other members of the international community who have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to take similar steps. This, the Sultanate emphasized, is crucial to guarantee the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, thereby paving the way for a two-state solution and fostering sustainable peace in the region.
