Egypt has expressed its approval of Belgium's declaration to recognize the State of Palestine. This announcement was made during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Egypt views this as a significant move that supports the rights of Palestinians and their right to self-determination.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates released a statement regarding Belgium's decision. The ministry emphasized that this action contributes to the establishment of an independent and unified Palestinian state. This state would be based on the borders that existed before June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem (Al Quds) serving as its capital.
The ministry further stated that Belgium's decision, alongside similar actions taken by other nations in recent times, demonstrates the widespread international backing for the Palestinian people and their legitimate goals. The statement also highlighted that this reflects the international community's desire to achieve a just and peaceful resolution, fostering peaceful coexistence within the Middle East region.

Self-determination should be a two-way street. Both Israelis and Palestinians have rights that need to be respected.

Egypt's approval seems like a way to gain political favor rather than a genuine support for peace.

Recognition won't lead to a viable solution. Both sides need to come to the negotiation table.
