Speaking to public broadcaster Polish Radio, Wroński said that Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has consistently advocated for such action on the global stage.
The spokesman added that the latest initiative by various nations does not directly affect Poland, which recognized Palestine’s independence in 1988.
Wroński emphasized that Poland continues to support a two-state solution in the Middle East conflict - one that ensures peaceful coexistence between Israel and a future Palestinian state.
He also confirmed that Poland will provide an additional USD 1 million in aid for Palestinians.
The statement from Poland’s foreign ministry comes amid renewed international momentum for Palestinian recognition.
15 Western nations urge global recognition of Palestinian statehood
Fifteen Western countries issued a joint appeal this week calling on the global community to acknowledge the state of Palestine.
The appeal followed a UN conference on the war in Gaza, held in New York and co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia.
Signatories included five nations that have already formally recognized Palestinian statehood - Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Slovenia - as well as countries that have expressed support for future recognition.
These include Australia, Andorra, Canada, Finland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Portugal and San Marino.
France announced it would recognize Palestine during a UN General Assembly meeting in September, while the UK signaled it may follow suit.
The group also called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages by Hamas militants, and expanded humanitarian access for civilians in the enclave.
