According to reports, extensive consultations will begin in September among the government, president, and parliament regarding the official recognition of the state of Palestine within the framework of the United Nations General Assembly in Portugal. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro emphasized that the country advocates for a just peace based on international law norms. This initiative was promoted based on the outcomes of the conference in New York. Portugal signed a statement demanding a peaceful resolution of Palestinian statehood in collaboration with a group led by France. Protests against the war took place in Lisbon in mid-July. Demonstrators called for an immediate halt to military actions in the Gaza Strip and urged attention to the humanitarian situation. Additionally, according to recent reports, countries such as France, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mali are also discussing plans for the official recognition of Palestinian independence. Portugal's move is being evaluated as an important step towards peace on an international scale. The new political direction could open a new chapter in the global community's efforts to resolve the Palestine-Israel issue.
