Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the Republic of Cyprus, Abdallah Attari, has called on all countries to follow the example of the Republic of Cyprus by actively contributing to the reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
In a press release, he said "we followed with great satisfaction the statement of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Nikos Christodoulides, on Euronews, in which he highlighted the contribution of the Cypriot Government to the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, as well as the six-point plan of the Republic of Cyprus for Gaza. Initiatives such as these strengthen the resilience of the Palestinian people on their land and reinforce the role of the Palestinian Authority within the framework of the United Nations and UNRWA".
Two-state solution
He added that "in response to a journalist’s question regarding the two-state solution, at a time when the United States and Israel oppose it, President Christodoulides replied with clarity and determination: there is no other viable solution than the two-state solution. He further stressed that without a just and lasting resolution of the Palestinian question, based on this principle, there can be no stability or peace throughout the region."
The Ambassador called "on all countries to follow the example of the Republic of Cyprus by actively contributing to the reconstruction efforts in Gaza".
"At the same time, we urge those states that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to do so without delay, thereby strengthening the prospects for peace, justice, and international legitimacy" he concluded.
