Belarus–Palestine relations are the bilateral relations between Belarus and State of Palestine. The Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic recognized Palestinian statehood on 19 November 1988.[1] The State of Palestine has an embassy in Minsk, which opened in 2003.[2]

History

Belarus' Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Dapkiunas reaffirmed in 2017 that the country's position on Jerusalem had not changed. "A fair and long-term solution to the Palestine-Israel conflict through diplomacy and politics based on international law, including UN resolutions, is the view of Belarus".[3]

On 2 September 2022, Palestinian Ambassador Ahmed Mohammed al-Madbuh presented his credentials to Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei and they held talks during which they stressed taking practical steps to strengthen cooperation between the two countries.[4]
