Spain, Ireland, Norway Officially Recognize Palestinian State

Irish officials say that a recent EU meeting witnessed the first ‘significant talks’ to sanction Israel

Spain, Ireland, and Norway formally recognized a Palestinian state on 28 May in a joint effort to increase international pressure to end Israel’s aggressive campaign on Gaza.

...Madrid is recognizing a unified Palestinian state, including the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital under the Palestinian National Authority, the prime minister added.

...The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has previously said that it would upgrade its consulate in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank to an embassy and appoint an ambassador, as well as upgrade the Palestinian mission in Ireland to an embassy.

For Norway’s part, Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said, “For more than 30 years, Norway has been one of the strongest advocates for a Palestinian state. Today, when Norway officially recognizes Palestine as a state, is a milestone in the relationship between Norway and Palestine.”

EU and Israeli relations have sunk due to the recognition of Palestinian statehood by two member states.
