Palestine has expressed gratitude for the outcomes of the recent African summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The summit, which took place on February 14-15, convened leaders to address various critical issues including security, climate challenges, and internal conflicts within African nations. In light of this conference, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry issued a statement praising the robust positions taken by various African leaders that underscored their commitment to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their aspirations for full UN membership.

The Palestinian authority noted that the summit's conclusion explicitly rejected any attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians to neighboring countries, such as Egypt or Jordan. This rejection was framed as a severe violation of international law, thereby reinforcing the global call for the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people. Furthermore, the summit has shown a collective African stance against the Israeli occupation, calling for the acknowledgment and respect of Palestinian rights in international diplomatic forums.

The Palestinian government sees the African support as pivotal in its pursuit of statehood and full recognition at the United Nations. As the world remains divided on the issue, the backing from African nations provides Palestine with a bolstered platform to advocate for its rights and seek justice on the international stage. Such endorsements may have significant implications on future diplomatic efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, indicating a growing international support for the Palestinian cause.
