Armenia officially recognized Palestine as a state. In response to Armenia's declaration, the Israeli Foreign Ministry took immediate action by summoning the Armenian ambassador to criticize Armenia for its decision to recognize Palestine.
"Following the recognition of a Palestinian state by Armenia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassador of Armenia for a sharp reprimand," said the announcement of the Israeli Ministry, quoted by BTA.
The Israeli ministry, while firm in its response, did not provide further details on the matter. This diplomatic exchange highlights the complexities and sensitivities surrounding the issue of Palestinian statehood.
The recognition of Palestine by Armenia marks an important moment in international relations, reflecting the different and sometimes contradictory positions of different countries on this long-standing issue.
