Jerusalem (ANTARA News/AFP) - Israel on Monday described as "regrettable" a decision by Argentina to recognise a "free and independent" Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, just days after a similar move by Brazil.
"This regrettable decision will not help at all to change the situation between Israel and the Palestinians," foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP.
"It is a disappointing declaration which goes against the spirit of the agreements between Israel and the Palestinians and against negotiations for peace," he said.
Brazil announced its recognition of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders on Friday, prompting a similar response from Israel which expressed its "sadness and disappointment."
