After recognizing Palestine as a state, the Palestinian mission in the United Kingdom was upgraded to embassy status, and the Palestinian flag was raised outside the building. A special flag-raising ceremony was held at the Palestinian embassy in London, where Palestinian Ambassador Husam Zomlot said that we raise this flag with the pledge that Palestine will always endure, Palestine will hold its head high, and Palestine will be free.
This resolve for freedom never bows and will not bow.
The people of Palestine will stand again in a new way; Israel is under the mistaken impression that we have already made Palestine free.
For 70 years Israel has tried to rid itself of Palestine, but it has failed in that effort.
With each passing moment and day, Israel will face increasing difficulties.
This war will be very costly for Israel.
