On Tuesday, September 3rd, 2025, Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, the Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed his approval of Belgium's announcement regarding its intention to recognize the Palestinian state.
Albudaiwi stated that this declaration signifies growing backing, both regionally and internationally, for the two-state solution. He emphasized that it aligns with the principles and values outlined in international charters and resolutions, all of which support the Palestinian cause.
Furthermore, he encouraged other nations to follow Belgium's lead and recognize the State of Palestine. He called for a collaborative effort to achieve a just and comprehensive peace, founded on the two-state solution, the Arab Peace Initiative, and resolutions that are internationally recognized as legitimate.

The international community needs to prioritize stability over recognition. This isn't the way forward.

Encouraging other nations to recognize Palestine isn’t helpful; it just complicates the situation further.

This recognition is a lifeline for Palestinians who have been deprived of their rights for too long.

Belgium's recognition is a slap in the face to those who have worked for peace in the region.

I appreciate Albudaiwi’s leadership on this issue. Countries must unite to support Palestinian rights.
