The Partit Nazzjonalista (PN), Malta’s Nationalist Party, has called for the immediate recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state, a move that could have significant implications for Malta’s foreign policy. This development comes as Prime Minister Robert Abela hinted at a potential major shift in the government’s stance on the matter, suggesting that a reevaluation of Malta’s position on Palestinian statehood may be underway.
The PN’s call for recognition is part of a broader push for Malta to take a more proactive role in supporting Palestinian self-determination and statehood. As the government considers its response, the possibility of Malta joining other nations in recognizing Palestine as a state has garnered attention both domestically and internationally. The outcome of this debate could mark a significant moment in Malta’s diplomatic history and its relations with the Middle East.
