MONTEVIDEO, 16 Mar. (Reuters) - Uruguay's government announced on Tuesday the recognition of a Palestinian state, making it the latest in a series of Latin American countries have taken this historic step in recent months. A source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that the recognition does not specify the Palestinian and Israeli borders "to avoid interfering in a matter that requires a bilateral agreement." The Ministry says that in this way reflects the commitment of Uruguay to the peace process in the Middle East.
"We want to shared with the majority of the international community in the near future, Palestinian and Israeli peoples to coexist peacefully," reads a statement. The United States believes that recognition of an independent Palestinian state is a premature decision, while Israel defends his authority over controlled areas following the Six Day War in 1967.
The Government also considers that the steps Hebrew Latin American countries are "highly dangerous interference" of actors who have never participated in the peace process. Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia have recognized a state with the borders prior to the 1967 conflict. Chile and Peru are kept in the same position as Uruguay.
