Spain, Ireland and Norway decide to recognize Palestine as a state

Spain, Ireland and Norway have announced on Wednesday that they have decided to recognize Palestine as an independent state.

The Prime Minister of Ireland, Simon Harris, said that this was a joint decision between his country, Spain and Norway.

This historic decision prompted fierce opposition from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel immediately withdrew its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland.

These three countries announced one after the other through press conferences about their decision on Palestine.

The first, the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Store, said that "there can be no peace in the Middle East, if there is no recognition".

Gahr Store indicated that the Scandinavian country will officially recognize the Palestinian state from May 28.

"Recognizing Palestine as a state, Norway supports the Arab peace plan," he said.

Several European Union countries have hinted in recent weeks that they intend to recognize Palestine, arguing that a two-state solution is essential for long-term peace in the region.

Norway, which is not a member of the European Union but follows its policies, has been an ardent supporter of the two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

"Terror has been committed by Hamas [designated a terrorist group by the US and the EU] and by militant groups, which are not supporters of the two-state solution, and by the state of Israel," the Norwegian government leader said.

"Palestine has the fundamental right to be an independent state," he said./REL
