LA VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta’s Prime Minister Robert Abela has indicated that the island nation is nearing a decision to officially recognize the State of Palestine, revealing that the criteria for such recognition will soon be met. In a late televised interview on the national station, Abela emphasized that Malta has long sought to ensure fair treatment for Palestine, a position that is widely supported by the Maltese public.
