WARSAW: Poland said on Wednesday that it backed a two-state solution to the Middle East crisis between Israel and the Palestinians, after Ireland, Spain and Norway announced that they would recognise a Palestinian state.
“We will support the efforts of the High Representative of the EU and other countries that believe that some long-term, stable solution is needed,” Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.
“And we believe that such a stable, long-term solution would be the existence of two states.”
Poland recognised the proclamation of an independent Palestinian state in 1988, according to the ministry’s website.
