After 3 G-7 countries, Portugal is expected to recognize the Palestinian state

Portugal says it will recognize a Palestinian state, making it the latest Western nation to prepare to change policy, as the war in the Gaza Strip shows no signs of stopping.

In a statement on Friday, Portugal's Foreign Ministry said the recognition was made at a high-level conference on Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that Portugal will recognize the State of Palestine. The Official Declaration of Recognition will be made before the High-Level Conference next week," the ministry wrote in a statement on its website, the statement added.

According to Portugal's Correio da Manha newspaper, the country's center-right prime minister, Luis Montenegro, consulted with the president and parliament before finalizing the decision.

This marked the end of nearly 15 years of debate in the Western European country's parliament, Correio da Manha reported, after the proposal was first presented by the country's Left Bloc political party in 2011.
