Portugal will formally recognise a Palestinian state on Sunday, the Foreign Ministry announced on Friday. The declaration will come ahead of next week’s High-Level Conference.
Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel had indicated earlier this week, during a visit to the UK, that Portugal was considering recognition. Unlike neighbouring Spain, which recognised Palestine in May 2024 alongside Ireland and Norway, Portugal has taken a more cautious approach, aiming to coordinate a common position with other EU members first.
Only a handful of the 27 EU states currently recognise Palestine.
The UN General Assembly upgraded Palestine’s status to “non-member state” in November 2012, granting de facto recognition as a sovereign entity.
