| [Arab News] [Arab News] Brazil says it has recognized the state of Paleostine based on borders at the time of Israel's 1967 conquest of the West Bank. The Foreign Ministry says the recognition is in response to a request made by Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas last month to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Silva sent a letter to Abbas on Dec. 1, saying Brazil recognizes Paleostine and hopes that the recognition will help lead to states of Israel and Paleostine "that will coexist peacefully and in security." The Foreign Ministry says that the recognition is "in line with Brazil's historic willingness to contribute to peace between Israel and Paleostine." The announcement was posted Friday on the Foreign Ministry's website. |
