BPNIC Briefing, March 2007

The Brazilian government expects the new government and dialogue between the Palestinian parties will decrease differences of opinion, and smooth the way for normalization of relations between the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and the international community. 

Brazil encourages the Palestinians to keep pushing through the peace process with Israel in accordance with the ‘Road Map’ and the agreements already signed previously with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Brazil again affirmed its readiness to support and assist initiatives designed to improve living conditions in the Palestinian territories and at strengthening and consolidating local institutions.

The Brazilian government reiterates its support for Palestinian self-determination and for the creation of an independent, sovereign, geographically cohesive and economically viable Palestinian state alongside Israel.
