Stockholm-Sana
Swedish Prime Minister Stephen Löfven affirmed that his country and the European Union rejected the plans of the Israeli occupation authorities aiming at annexing Palestinian lands to it, considering this unacceptable.
The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that Leuven pointed out during his speech today via video to the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly that his country supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the line of June 4, 1967 in accordance with agreed international standards in a manner conducive to an end to the occupation.
In his turn, Ralph Gonçalves, Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in a similar speech before the United Nations General Assembly, reiterated his country's affirmation of the necessity of granting the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations, condemning the settlement practices of the Israeli occupation.
Gonsalves said that Saint Vincent declares its solidarity with the Palestinian people, whose daily life has become tainted by illegal annexation and must be granted self-determination and the establishment of its independent state, explaining that the right to self-determination, the establishment of the Palestinian state, and the review of its full membership in the United Nations come within the framework of the search for sustainable peace in Middle east.
