Thailand joins Brazil et al and recognises Palestinian statehood. They obviously haven't been listening to Newt! ;)

Thailand officially recognizes Palestinian statehood

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand says it has recognized Palestine as an independent state.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdi said Friday that Thailand has informed the Palestinian delegation and all member states at the United Nations in New York that it "has given recognition to the state of Palestine."

The move comes as Palestine pushes for full membership at the U.N., a bid Washington opposes because it says a political settlement with Israel must be reached first.

Thailand has friendly ties with Israel and is a major tourist destination for Israeli travelers.
