BRAZIL TO HOLD PALESTINE'S FIRST EMBASSY IN THE WEST.
After Brazil's historic recognition of the conflict-laden region, a Palestinian embassy is in the works.
Recap: Brazil and a number of other South American countries have publicly recognized Palestine within "pre-1967 borders." Israel has deemed this decision as "seriously harmful." America is mad, too (shocking). Meanwhile, the rest of the world is happy to see some sort of progress materialize. More information can be found in Al Jazeera's article.
