A group of United Nations experts has called on UN members to recognize a Palestinian state in order to ensure peace in the Middle East.

Experts, including the UN rapporteur for human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesco Albaneza, said that all political and diplomatic resources should be used for an urgent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

"The recognition of a Palestinian state is an important recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people and their struggle for freedom and independence," the United Nations website states.

It is added that he recognizes it as a prerequisite for lasting peace in the Middle East.

"A two-state solution is the only internationally agreed path to peace and security for Palestine and Israel and a way out of generational cycles of violence," the UN said.
