Qatar welcomes the announcements by Australia and New Zealand supporting the recognition of the State of Palestine
Doha - August 11, 2025
The State of Qatar welcomes Australia's announcement of its intention to recognize the sisterly State of Palestine, as well as New Zealand's announcement that it is considering recognizing the Palestinian state. Qatar regarded these announcements as positive steps that align with international legitimacy and relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and significant support for the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, enabling them to exercise their right to self-determination and establish their independent state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that these decisions align with the consensus of the states participating in the International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question and Implementation of the Two-State Solution over a roadmap aimed at increasing recognitions of the State of Palestine.
The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar's call to all nations that have yet to recognize the State of Palestine to take similar steps that reflect their adherence to international law and support the historical and inalienable rights of the brotherly Palestinian people on their land.
