TRINIDAD & TOBAGO RECOGNISE PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD
03/05/2024
Trinidad and Tobago have joined 141 other states and several other CARICOM countries in formally recognising the State of Palestine.
The decision was taken by Cabinet today, according to the Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs.
“Today’s Cabinet decision is consistent with these public statements by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs,” the Ministry said in a release.
Trinidad and Tobago has consistently called for a two-state solution as a way out of the conflict.
In October 2023, Prime Minister Rowley said T&T recognises Israel’s right to exist and also the right of the Palestinians to a State of their own.
“Recognition of Palestine is moral and just and demonstrates Trinidad and Tobago’s acknowledgement of and support for the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian People,” today’s release noted.
It added: “In the seven months since the start of the war in Gaza, Senator the Honourable Dr. Amery Browne, Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs, has articulated the position of Trinidad and Tobago on this issue; condemned the killing of civilians in Gaza and Israel; expressed support for the two-State solution; and called for an immediate ceasefire, the exercise of restraint, regard for civilian lives and welfare, dialogue and diplomacy.”
THE WORLD IS UNITING!! ISRAEL IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE ISOLATED!!
The ONLY way to peace is by giving the Palestinian people their rights! International awareness is rising about the struggle and plight of the Palestinians and the reason WHY October 7 occured. This did NOT occur in a vacuum! It is a response to the OPPRESSION, GENOCIDE, APARTHEID and SIEGE that the people of Gaza have faced for more than seven decades!
