Belize Receives Palestinian Ambassador Amid Controversy Over Gaza ConflictLast week, Belize welcomed seven new ambassadors, including the new Palestinian Ambassador, who presented her credentials to Governor General Dame Froyla Tzalam. Belize has long supported Palestine, backing a UN resolution calling for steps toward an independent Palestinian state. Meanwhile, many world leaders have described the current conflict in Gaza as genocide against the Palestinian people. The arrival of the Palestinian ambassador reaffirms Belize’s support, even as the issue remains a divisive one on the global stage. Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.
