دعت فرنسا و14 دولة أخرى بينها كندا وأستراليا، البلدان الأخرى إلى إعلان عزمها الاعتراف بدولة فلسطين. وكتب وزير الخارجية الفرنسي جان-نويل بارو على منصة «إكس»، اليوم (الأربعاء) في نيويورك مع 14 دولة أخرى توجه فرنسا نداء جماعيا: نعبر عن عزمنا الاعتراف بدولة فلسطين وندعو الذين لم يفعلوا ذلك حتى الآن إلى الانضمام إلينا، غداة «نداء نيويورك» الذي أطلق في ختام مؤتمر وزاري في الأمم المتحدة حول حل الدولتين في النزاع الإسرائيلي-الفلسطيني.
وكانت عدة دول بينها دول أوروبية أعلنت استعدادها للاعتراف بدولة فلسطين خلال اجتماع الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة المقرر في سبتمبر القادم، عقب اختتام المؤتمر الدولي في نيويورك.
وجاء في بيان مشترك صادر عن وزراء خارجية هذه الدول أن «الاعتراف بالدولة الفلسطينية خطوة أساسية نحو تحقيق حل الدولتين»، داعين بقية الدول التي لم تعترف بعد بفلسطين إلى الانضمام لهذا التوجه.
ومن بين الدول التي أعلنت عزمها الاعتراف بفلسطين للمرة الأولى 9 دول هي: أستراليا وكندا وفنلندا ونيوزيلاندا والبرتغال وأندورا ومالطا وسان مارينو ولوكسمبورغ، فيما جددت دول أخرى سبق لها الاعتراف بفلسطين دعمها، مثل أيسلندا وإيرلندا وإسبانيا.
من جهته، أعلن رئيس وزراء مالطا روبرت أبيلا في بيان منفصل، أن بلاده ستعترف رسميا بدولة فلسطين، مؤكدا التزام بلاده بدعم حل سياسي شامل للصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي.
وكشف مصدر بريطاني أن رئيس الوزراء البريطاني كير ستارمر، أبلغ نظيره الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو عزمه الاعتراف بدولة فلسطين، مشترطا وقف إطلاق النار في غزة، وضمان عدم تنفيذ عمليات ضم في الضفة الغربية، والدخول في عملية سلام تؤدي إلى حل الدولتين. وشدد ستارمر على أن قراره ليس نتيجة ضغوط داخلية أو إعلامية، رغم تنامي الانتقادات لحكومته عقب نشر صور من غزة في وسائل الإعلام العالمية.
وقوبل الإعلان البريطاني ترحيبا من السعودية والأردن، ووصفته وزارة الخارجية الأردنية بأنه «خطوة في الاتجاه الصحيح نحو إنهاء الاحتلال وتحقيق حل الدولتين».
فيما وصف الرئيس الفلسطيني محمود عباس الخطوة البريطانية بأنها «موقف تاريخي»، ودعا دول العالم إلى أن تحذو حذو بريطانيا، بحسب ما نقلت وكالة الأنباء الفلسطينية.
وفي إسرائيل، أثار الإعلان موجة انتقادات داخلية، وأصدر منتدى للسياسة الخارجية يضم 18 سفيرا إسرائيليا سابقا بيانا حذر فيه من «انهيار سياسي غير مسبوق» تعيشه إسرائيل على خلفية الحرب الجارية وازدياد العزلة الدولية.
ودعا السفراء إلى وقف الحرب، وإطلاق جميع الرهائن، وبدء عملية سياسية تنهي حكم حماس في غزة، محذرين من أن «خطوات الضم ستفاقم عزلة إسرائيل».

France and 14 other countries, including Canada and Australia, have called on other nations to declare their intention to recognize the State of Palestine. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot wrote on the platform "X" today (Wednesday) in New York, along with 14 other countries, that France is making a collective appeal: "We express our determination to recognize the State of Palestine and call on those who have not yet done so to join us," following the "New York Call" launched at the conclusion of a ministerial conference at the United Nations regarding the two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Several countries, including European nations, have announced their readiness to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting scheduled for next September, following the conclusion of the international conference in New York.
A joint statement issued by the foreign ministers of these countries stated that "recognizing the Palestinian state is a fundamental step towards achieving the two-state solution," urging the remaining countries that have not yet recognized Palestine to join this initiative.
Among the countries that announced their intention to recognize Palestine for the first time are 9 nations: Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Portugal, Andorra, Malta, San Marino, and Luxembourg, while other countries that had previously recognized Palestine, such as Iceland, Ireland, and Spain, reaffirmed their support.
For his part, Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela announced in a separate statement that his country will officially recognize the State of Palestine, emphasizing his country's commitment to supporting a comprehensive political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A British source revealed that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer informed his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu of his intention to recognize the State of Palestine, conditional on a ceasefire in Gaza, ensuring no annexation actions in the West Bank, and entering into a peace process leading to a two-state solution. Starmer stressed that his decision is not a result of internal or media pressure, despite growing criticism of his government following the publication of images from Gaza in global media.
The British announcement was welcomed by Saudi Arabia and Jordan, with the Jordanian Foreign Ministry describing it as "a step in the right direction towards ending the occupation and achieving the two-state solution."
Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas described the British step as "a historic position," calling on countries around the world to follow Britain's lead, according to the Palestinian news agency.
In Israel, the announcement sparked a wave of internal criticism, and a foreign policy forum comprising 18 former Israeli ambassadors issued a statement warning of an "unprecedented political collapse" that Israel is experiencing amid the ongoing war and increasing international isolation.
The ambassadors called for an end to the war, the release of all hostages, and the initiation of a political process to end Hamas's rule in Gaza, warning that "annexation steps will exacerbate Israel's isolation."
