The Palestine–Portugal relations (Arabic: العلاقات البرتغالية الفلسطينية, Portuguese: Relações luso-palestinas) are the bilateral relations between the State of Palestine and the Portuguese Republic.

History

In 1999, Portugal decided to open a representative office in Ramallah. On 18 October of the same year, Antonio Jorge Jacob Carvalho was named Portugal's representative to the Palestinian National Authority.

The most recent representative of Lisbon in Palestine was Fernando Demee de Brito from 21 June 2019. In 2010, Portugal granted embassy status to the Palestinian representation in the country. On 12 December 2014, the Portuguese Parliament passed a resolution requesting the government to recognize the state of Palestine. The event was attended by ambassadors of Arab countries.

On 27 October 2023, Portugal was one of 121 countries to vote in favor of a General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire to the fighting between Israel and Gaza.
