#Jamaica#Palestine, April 24, 2024– Just days after Barbados, Jamaica also decided to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state as announced by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Kamina Johnson Smith. She reportedly informed that the decision follows a discussion by the Cabinet on Monday April 22.
Commenting on this development in a release, Smith said, “Jamaica continues to advocate for a two-state solution as the only viable option to resolve the longstanding conflict, guarantee the security of Israel and uphold the dignity and rights of Palestinians. By recognising the State of Palestine, Jamaica strengthens its advocacy towards a peaceful solution.”
