IN a recent development, Guyana Solidarity Movement with Palestine (GSMP) has extended its heartfelt congratulations to the Government of Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) for its decision to formally recognise the State of Palestine.
Hana Dmitriyev, the founder of GSMP, expressed her appreciation for this significant step, citing its alignment with international law and United Nations resolutions.
The recognition, according to Dmitriyev, is a crucial stride towards enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, including the right to return, and to establish their independent state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Furthermore, GSMP has reiterated its call to all countries worldwide that have not yet recognised the State of Palestine to follow suit.
This call, Dmitriyev emphasised, is in line with international efforts aimed at fostering peace and stability in the region through the two-state solution, as endorsed by relevant resolutions of international legitimacy.
In light of this momentum, GSMP has directed its attention to the Bahamas, the only remaining member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) yet to recognise the State of Palestine. The organisation urges the Bahamian government to formalise its recognition, thereby joining the collective effort towards advancing peace and justice in the Middle East.
Trinidad and Tobago’s decision, she explained, has been hailed as a positive step not only by GSMP but also by advocates of Palestinian rights globally, who view it as a significant move towards a just resolution of the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
