"Recognizing Palestine" on the 1967 lines is a call to Accountability, Justice and Humanity. The inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination is long overdue as a basic human right, and the recognition of the State of Palestine is a fundamental step in that direction.
Today, 149 countries have recognized the State of Palestine. People around the world are standing up for justice and dignity for Palestine. It is time for governments to do the same.
Settler violence in occupied Palestine has intensified since the Netanyahu government took office in late 2022. This violence is part of a broader colonial system aimed at displacing Palestinians to expand illegal settlements. The international community must take concrete action to hold perpetrators accountable and bring an end to 58 years of Israeli occupation and violations of international law.
