Hawzah News Agency- Following Armenia’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, the Zionist regime summoned the country's ambassador to Israel to reprimand and explain. Israel has not provided further explanations about the details.

Earlier on Friday, Yerevan announced in a statement that it will recognize Palestinian statehood from now on.

Spain, Norway, Ireland, and Slovenia were the European Union countries that recently announced in a statement that they recognize Palestine as a sovereign state.

“The Republic of Armenia has joined the resolutions of the UN General Assembly calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Furthermore, the Republic of Armenia is genuinely committed to establishing peace and stability in the Middle East and lasting reconciliation between the Jewish and Palestinian peoples. On various international platforms, our position has consistently been in favor of a peaceful and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue, and we support the "two-state" solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We are convinced that this is the only way to ensure that both Palestinians and Israelis can fulfill their legitimate aspirations," The press reported.

“Based on the foregoing and reaffirming our commitment to international law and the principles of equality, sovereignty, and peaceful coexistence of peoples, the Republic of Armenia recognizes the State of Palestine,” the statement reads.
