Jamaica recognises Palestine as a state

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Government of Jamaica has taken the decision to recognise the State of Palestine.

The decision was confirmed by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith, following deliberations of the Cabinet on Monday, April 22.

“Jamaica continues to advocate for a two-state solution as the only viable option to resolve the longstanding conflict, guarantee the security of Israel and uphold the dignity and rights of Palestinians. By recognising the State of Palestine, Jamaica strengthens its advocacy towards a peaceful solution,” Johnson Smith said in a media statement.
