WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (YPA) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated there is no such thing as a Palestinian state, asserting that some countries’ recognition of one is due to internal political pressure.
In an interview with “Fox News,” Rubio explained that Western nations recognizing a Palestinian state, such as Britain, Canada, and Australia, receive “some attention,” but he insisted that “this state does not exist.”
His comments followed the formal recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Canada, and Australia.
In related news, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer officially announced his country’s recognition of a Palestinian state, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney noted that “the current Israeli government is systematically working to prevent the possibility of a Palestinian state from ever being established.”
