EU countries that supported today's resolution:

Wonderful 💖

Now, for those of you who haven't do so yet, be consistent with your own vote, and recognise without delay the State of 🇵🇸!

Cyprus, Poland, and Slovakia already do :blobcatheart:

Note: regarding #Malta, whereas some accounts state that they already recognise #Palestine, they in fact recently made a joint statement in March 2024 together with #Ireland, #Slovenia and #Spain saying that:

"We discussed together our readiness to recognise Palestine and said that we would do so when it can make a positive contribution and the circumstances are right."

To be more precise, the shame is mostly on:

🇦🇹Austria, 🇨🇦Canada, 🇭🇷Croatia, 🇫🇯Fiji, 🇫🇮Finland, 🇩🇪Germany, 🇮🇱Israel, 🇮🇹Italy, 🇱🇻Latvia, 🇱🇹Lithuania, 🇲🇭Marshall Islands, 🇫🇲Micronesia, 🇲🇨Monaco, 🇳🇷Nauru, 🇳🇱Netherlands, 🇲🇰North Macedonia, 🇲🇩Moldova, 🇵🇼Palau, 🇨🇭Switzerland, 🇬🇧UK, 🇺🇸US

Indeed, the others that abstained or voted against the #UN resolution have at least themselves already recognised the State of #Palestine 🇵🇸 .

It's mostly symbolic; not full membership.

"Still, the resolution does provide new diplomatic perks to Palestinians.
➡️ [they] can now sit among member states in alphabetical order;
➡️ they can speak at General Assembly meetings on any topic instead of being limited to Palestinian affairs;
➡️ they can submit proposals and amendments;
➡️ and they can participate at U.N. conferences and international meetings organized by the Assembly and other U.N. entities."
