Diplomatic proportions of the Portuguese government. Officially acknowledged Palestine as a state but posted the Sudan flag
The official recognition of Palestine as a state by Portugal, a symbolic decision, was overshadowed by a embarrassing protocol – the diffusion of the Sudanese flag instead of the Palestinian flag.

The Portuguese government published a message on the X with the Sudan flag on Sunday instead of the Palestine flag, according to CNEWS.
Many Internet browsers have reacted. The flags of the two countries have the same colors, but they are different, writes News.
The wrong post was deleted and was replaced in a few minutes with the corrected version, illustrated with the correct flag.
Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel emphasized, quoted by the press in New York that the two state solution is “The only way to a straight and durable peace.”
The Lisbon government reaffirms “The right of Israel to exist” and “His real needs in the field of security” and “He condemns once again the atrocious terrorist attacks from October 7” 2023, committed by the Palestinian Islamist movement in the south of Israel, said the head of Portuguese diplomacy.
Lisbon joins, by recognizing Palestine as a state, France and about 20 European countries that have officially announced their support for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
