Honduras–Palestine relations

|---|---|
Honduras recognized Palestine in 2011, a move in sharp contrast to a long-lasting legacy of close links between successive Honduran governments and Israel.[1]
On May 10, 2013 Honduras and Palestine established diplomatic links, at a ceremony in
Porfirio Lobo at the presidential palace.[3] The ambassador of Palestine, Mohamed Saadat, presented his credentials on September 13, 2013.[4]
Honduras has the largest Palestinian community in Latin America, after
Greek Catholic migrants.[8] A minority (roughly 15-20% at one point) were Muslims.[7] However, later most of the descendants of Orthodox migrants later adopted Catholicism.[9] Many Palestinian descendants have come to occupy important positions in Honduran society. A Palestinian descendant, Carlos Roberto Flores, was elected President of Honduras in 1998.[9]
In 1947, Honduras abstained from voting on the Partition of Palestine in the United Nations General Assembly.[10]
