The Palestine–Portugal relations (Arabic: العلاقات البرتغالية الفلسطينية, Portuguese: Relações luso-palestinas) are the bilateral relations between the State of Palestine and the Portuguese Republic.
History[edit]
In 1999, Portugal decided to open a representative office in Ramallah.[1] On 18 October of the same year, Antonio Jorge Jacob Carvalho was named Portugal's representative to the Palestinian National Authority.[1]
The most recent representative of Lisbon in Palestine was Fernando Demee de Brito from 21 June 2019.[2] In 2010, Portugal granted embassy status to the Palestinian representation in the country.[3] On 12 December 2014, the Portuguese Parliament passed a resolution requesting the government to recognize the state of Palestine. The event was attended by ambassadors of Arab countries.[4]
On 27 October 2023, Portugal was one of 121 countries to vote in favor of a General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire to the fighting between Israel and Gaza.[5]
