Suriname recognizes Palestinian state
Paramaribo, 2 Feb-The Republic of Suriname has recognized a free and independent Palestinian state on the lands occupied by Israel in the Six Day War.
In letters sent to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday, Surinamese President Desi Bouterse expressed his country's support for Palestinian national rights and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, Ma'an news agency reported.
Palestinian Authority Foreign Affairs Minister Riad al-Malki said on Tuesday that the latest recognition is another achievement of Palestinian diplomacy.
Suriname's decision is in line with international support for United Nations resolutions demanding the end of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
The international community backs Palestinian demands for a state in most of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) - all territories Tel Aviv occupied in the 1967 Six Day War.
Israel has persistently continued constructing settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds despite the United Nations' condemnation of the action.
Over 100 countries have endorsed the Palestinians' 1988 declaration of independent statehood.
Among them, several Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela have recognized an independent Palestinian state.
Suriname, a former Dutch colony, is a member of the Islamic Conference Organization and the Islamic Development Bank.

The South American countries have started this. Now the Europeans, Africans, Asians and eventually even American will follow suit. Time to end this apartheid style oppression and Hitler style abuse of the Palestinean by Israel.
The recognition of the state of Palestine is not enough. Palestine only will be known for their three main territories, Gaza, West Bank and Golan Heights. see Arab-Israel Six-Days wars. Palestine must get all their territories occupied by Israel, means the whole Israel must submit to Palestinean at all cost.
Arab and Islamic countries must look back at the humiliating setback of June 1967. Every Arab nations in particular must set aside their narrow and selfish nationalist outlook and work together in search for the most comprehensive solution to deal with the zionist threat. Near half a decades of occupation and denial of the Palestinians of their rights to a homeland and self determination is long enough to set in motion an overwhelming public opinion drive and a strategic political move to end the predicament and the sufferings.
Admin appeals to the international community to join hands to end the occupation of Palestinian land. Lets remind the whole world that the sinister objectives of the zionist agenda is not only a threat to the Palestinian existence but it is also a threat to the harmony and peace to the whole world.
