LatAm gravitates toward Palestine

Acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas (L) and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Uruguay says it will recognize an independent Palestinian state, following in the footsteps of Brazil and Argentina, which have officially recognized Palestine.



"Uruguay will surely follow the same path as Argentina in 2011," Uruguayan Deputy Foreign Minister Roberto Conde was quoted by AFP as saying on Monday.

In a letter addressed to acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas, which was read out on Monday by Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner said her country recognizes Palestine as a "free and independent state" as defined by the 1967 borders.

On Friday, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry announced that Brasilia recognizes the Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.

In response, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said, "This regrettable decision will not help at all to change the situation between Israel and the Palestinians."

"It is a disappointing declaration which goes against the spirit of the agreements between Israel and the Palestinians and against negotiations for peace," he said.

Due to the renewed settlement building activities, the Palestinian Authority broke off the recently resumed direct talks. The PA said Tel Aviv had to freeze the construction and expansion of Jewish settler units or the talks could not continue.

But Israel refuses to cancel its recent decision to build 238 new Jewish settler units in East al-Quds and is also forging ahead with the construction of new units in settlements in other parts of the occupied territories.

The Palestinians say that the settlement activities are being carried out to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
