Palestine has officially applied for full membership in BRICS, Palestinian envoy Abdel-Hafiz Nofal confirmed, marking a strategic move to boost global recognition. Until the process is complete, Palestine may join as a guest participant at BRICS meetings. China, responding to the application, said it “welcomes more like-minded partners” to the grouping, which seeks to reform global governance and enhance multipolarity. BRICS, once a five-nation bloc, has recently expanded by adding Egypt, UAE, Ethiopia, Iran, and Indonesia. Palestine’s application underscores its push for stronger international alliances amid escalating regional tensions. (PC: The Hindu)
