Chile has become the 7th South American nation to formally recognized Palestine as an independent state.
President Sebastián Piñera ( pictured with Palestine's Mahmoud Abbas) had reportedly been under pressure to act from Chile's 400,000 Palestinian residents.
Brasil, Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela have all officially supported a Palestinian state. Paraguay and Peru are expected to offer announce recognition soon.
“South American countries are acting every day with greater coordination,” claimed senator Eugenio Tuma. “We are demonstrating that South America can play, together, a role in the great global issues affecting humanity.”
