According to⁢ the English section of⁢ webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Anadolu Agency, ​U.S. Representative Ro Khanna ⁢stated that “the time has come ⁢to recognize the State of Palestine.” He announced plans‍ to take ⁢action on this issue before the United Nations General‍ Assembly meeting⁣ in ⁤September.

Khanna added that efforts will‍ be made ahead of ⁤the UN assembly ⁢in September to garner support for Palestinian recognition.

He commented, “Recognizing the State of Palestine has now become a timely idea. The response from my colleagues ⁣has​ been overwhelmingly positive.”

This ⁣comes as many countries have already​ called for recognizing Palestine as an ‌self-reliant ​state.
