The Republic of Egypt strongly believes that Palestine should become an independent state. Egypt hopes to back Palestine in the hopes of becoming a free state. Egypt has begun to ally themselves with other groups in support of the Palestine statehood. We have in place treaty agreement with Palestine and will continue to honor those agreements as Palestine looks to become independent.
Egypt has begun showing its support not only through the representatives for the two nations discussing details, but also in the actions of our people. The Egyptian people have taken to protest outside the UN’s offices in order to show their support for Palestinian statehood. Egypt has begun to reach out to larger nations in hopes for support. As a member of the UN, we have reached out to the United States in hopes that that States will allow for larger countries to begin backing. The backing of larger countries would provide backing from more countries as they follow the example of leading countries. Our state would support that full economic support be provided to support our stance. It is in our best interest to support Palestine, due to the fact that with Palestine being declared an independent state, that terrorist groups will become scarcer throughout the Middle Eastern Mediterranean border. We would also support that all decisions be reached with the citizens in mind and their needs for food supply due to the war taking place that has destroyed crops and imports. Egypt is hoping to create Palestine states, but without violence that may pursue. The Republic of Egypt acknowledges that the US has Arab ties; we hope to use these ties to allow for US support in backing the Palestine statehood. Egypt is very well aware of the heated arguments that can conquer with debate, but assures the nations that all debate will be kept civilized. While Egypt has strong emotions about Palestine statehood, we hope to come to the conclusion that Palestine should be its own state.
The Republic of Egypt will continue to support Palestine statehood with the support of its citizens as well. It is in our best interest to support Palestine, and we will contribute and help Palestine to receive full support from the United Nations and membership into the UN.
