Palestinian Minister Asks Estonia for Help with Peace

The Palestinian Foreign Minister visited Estonia. She said Palestinians want their own country and need international support.
The minister liked Estonia. She said the country is beautiful and the people are kind. She met with Estonia's Foreign Minister. They talked about Palestine and how to solve the problems there.
The minister thinks Estonia can help make peace between Israel and Palestine. Estonia is small but important in the EU. It understands Palestine's problems but is also friends with Israel. This makes Estonia a good peace helper.
In October 2023, terrorists attacked Israel. Since then, Israel has been fighting in Gaza. The minister said the situation is very bad. She does not like violence. But she thinks Israel's actions are too strong.
Before October, life was already hard for Palestinians. They have lived under occupation for 50 years. The minister says they deserve freedom. International law says Palestinians can have their own country.
Estonia wants two countries - Israel and Palestine. The minister thinks this is possible if both sides agree. Right now, Israel says no to this idea. But peace needs Israel to accept Palestine's right to exist.
Hamas, a terrorist group, controlled Gaza. Israel wants to stop Hamas. If there are two countries later, the Palestinian government should be the PLO. The PLO wants peace with Israel. Any group in politics must support peace and the PLO.
