Jamaican Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Kamina Johnson Smith stated in a press release that Jamaica continues to advocate for a two-state solution as the only viable option to resolve the long-standing conflict (between Israel and Palestine).
Smith noted that following yesterday's Cabinet meeting, they decided to officially recognize Palestine as a state.
Stating that they continue to support all efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions in the region and ensuring lasting peace, Smith called on the parties to resolve the issue through diplomatic means.
