In a historic moment in London, the Palestinian flag was raised over the building of the Palestinian Mission following Britain’s official recognition of the State of Palestine.
The ceremony symbolized a powerful affirmation of Palestinian identity and statehood. Speaking at the event, the Palestinian Ambassador to the United Kingdom declared: “We affirm the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Palestine, with its people, will endure and can never be erased.”
He further stressed the dire situation in Gaza, saying: “The Palestinian people in Gaza are facing a genocide.”
The raising of the flag in the heart of London stands as both a symbolic victory and a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle of the Palestinian people. It marks a significant diplomatic shift following Britain’s recognition, aligning with broader international momentum toward acknowledging Palestinian statehood.
