"Recognition of Palestine by the United Kingdom, France, Spain, as well as Canada and Australia, will lay a strong foundation for opposing Israel's policy of occupying Palestinian territories, including for the purpose of imposing sanctions on it," al-Habbash said.
At the beginning, sanctions measures against Israel may be limited in nature, but subsequently more and more countries will join in introducing restrictions, the adviser added.
"Some countries may initially impose limited sanctions against Israel. However, we are fully confident that the entire world will join the pressure to force it, despite its discontent and disagreement, to comply with international law and recognize the state of Palestine," al-Habbash also said.
