Relationship context
Overview
Malta recognizes the State of Palestine and has supported Palestinian statehood and a two-state solution in international forums. These are substantive elements of Malta’s policy toward Palestine. Information about direct Palestinian government cooperation with Malta is insufficient to assess the reciprocal relationship.
Key developments
Malta supported a United Nations General Assembly resolution backing Palestine’s application for membership in the United Nations.
Major uncertainties
- The scope of direct bilateral cooperation and any formal agreements is unclear.
- Details of Palestinian government policy specifically toward Malta are limited.
