Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammed Shtiyya called on the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly (Mediterranean-PA) member states to recognize the State of Palestine and preserve the two-state solution.
According to the statement made by the Palestinian Prime Minister's Office, Shtiyya met with the Mediterranean-PA delegation at its office in Ramallah.
Calling on Mediterranean-PA member states to recognize the State of Palestine, Shtiyya stated that he made this call against Israel's actions that undermine the two-state solution and all opportunities for the establishment of the State of Palestine.
Shtiyya demanded to put pressure on Israel to comply with the agreements it signed and allow elections to be held in all Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem.
Referring to Israel's unilateral practices, Shtiyya said that Israel has waged a geographical, economic and demographic war against the Palestinian people.
"The Palestinian people are victims of international double standards," said Shtiyya, underlining that in addition to international law and United Nations resolutions, Israel is not sanctioned for its violations.
Recalling Israel's actions that destroyed the two-state solution, Ishtiyye said that continuation of these policies means a racist regime and progress towards a single state with Israeli laws.
Antalya Deputy Atay Uslu, who chaired the MEDITERRANEAN-PA Turkish group in the 27th Legislative Term of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, is also included in the delegation that came to Palestine to make official contacts.
The members of Akdeniz-PA, which was established in 2005 for the purpose of regional cooperation in the Mediterranean and carries out activities in various fields, include Turkey and many European Union countries, as well as countries such as Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya and Palestine.
