The leaders of France, Spain, Germany, the UK and the High Representative of the EU:

We urge you to endorse the legitimate bid for recognition of the state of Palestine and the reaffirmation of the rights of the Palestinian people. It is time to turn the tide on decades of failed peace talks, end the occupation and move towards peace based on two states.

Europe: Support Palestinian Statehood
This map shows in green countries that support recognising Palestine as a state.
The Palestinian people live under a humiliating occupation -- Israel controls 62% of the West Bank, all of East Jerusalem, and Gazans are imprisoned by a devastating blockade. But right now the Palestinian leadership is making a bold move for freedom and peace by calling for UN recognition of the state of Palestine.

Israel, with US appeasement, has undermined decades of peace talks by illegally confiscating land across the West Bank and turning what would be Palestine into a Swiss cheese of Israeli colonies. This new Palestinian diplomatic proposal is a dramatic and hopeful shift away from the status quo, and could be the best opportunity to advance a resolution of the conflict. But to have a chance it needs European backing now.

120 nations already support the Palestinians’ rightful bid for self-determination, but the US and Netanyahu's right-wing government are bullying and blocking. Europe now holds the key to this initiative and is the last undecided bloc. Countries are finalising their positions before next week’s UN Security Council meeting. Let’s rally a massive global call for Europe to endorse the legitimate statehood bid now. Sign the petition and send this to everyone.
