Brazil, melalui pemimpin nombor satu mereka Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, mengiktiraf Palestin mengikut persempadanan pada tahun 1967.

Kenyataan disisarkan di dalam laman web menteri luar Brazil Jumaat lepas (3/12/2010).

Lula berkata,

"Considering that the demand presented by his excellency [Abbas] is just and consistent with the principles upheld by Brazil with regard to the Palestinian issue, Brazil, through this letter, recognises a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders," it said.



Reaksi Israel

Menteri luar negara Israel pula menyatakan kemarahan di atas kenyataan di atas,

"The government of Israel expresses sadness and disappointment over the decision by the Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva a month before he steps down.

Recognition of a Palestinian state is a breach of the interim agreement which was signed between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in 1995 which said that the issue of the status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be discussed and resolved through negotiations"

Tindakan tersebut juga dikatakan bercanggah dengan "2003 Middle East roadmap for peace" yang menyatakan bahawa penubuhan negara Palestin hanya boleh dicapai melalui perbincangan dan bukan melalui tindakan unilateral (sebelah pihak) sahaja.

Tindakan unilateral hanya meruntuhkan usaha untuk membina kepercayaan Israel-palestin, katanya.

Persoalannya, adakah wujud kepercayaan dua pihak Palestin-Israel? Dan mungkinkah perbincangan seterusnya akan berhasil setelah perbincangan juga keputusan yang lalu sering kali dikhianati?

Wallahu a'alam.
