Uruguay Recognizes PA as Sovereign Nation, France Defers

Another Latin American country has officially recognized a Palestinian nation without borders, and the French Foreign Minister has said there is the possibility that the entire European Union might do so as well.  All this while the quartet of America, Russia, the United Nations and the European Union have suggested a September deadline for a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The world keeps wanting to chop up into ever smaller components, the land that was given to the Hebrew people, (Israel and the Jews) as an everlasting possession. This will not sit well with God, who has promised to deal with the nations over just this issue.

“In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:2 NIV

From the news article:

Uruguay has joined the parade of Latin American nations choosing to officially recognize the Palestinian Authority as an independent nation. Foreign Minister Luis Almagro said in a statement that Uruguay communicated its intent to the Palestinian Authority.  However, there was no indication as to whether Uruguay would recognize specific borders for the entity, the Associated Press reported.

French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters also on Tuesday that France would not recognize the PA as a country, according to the AFP news agency. He said, however, there was a possibility the entire European Union might decide to do so. “Personally, we're not there yet,” he said, but “I think that it's a possibility that should be kept in mind.”
