Palestine created history when they booked a place in the third round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers for the first time following a goalless draw on Thursday against Lebanon in Doha.
On Thursday, Palestine, who came into the Group I match with seven points, only needed a draw to progress, and they got the desired result despite some rough tactics by Lebanon as they picked up seven yellow cards.
It will also mark the fourth consecutive time Palestine has booked their place in the AFC Asian Cup finals, to be hosted by Saudi Arabia in 2027.
Egypt has thrown its full diplomatic weight behind the European Commission’s newly announced €1.6 billion multi-year support program for the Palestinian Authority (PA), calling it a clear affirmation of Europe’s commitment to Palestinian statehood and institutional resilience — explicitly excluding any role for Hamas in Gaza’s future.
The European Union will increase its financial support for the Palestinian Authority with a three-year package worth around 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion), the European Commissioner responsible for the Middle East told Reuters in an interview.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to recognize a Palestinian state as early as June is not only ill-timed, but dangerously irresponsible.
