Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognize Palestinian statehood | DW News

Norway, Ireland, and Spain have said they will recognize Palestinian statehood. Several other European countries have indicated in the past few weeks that they plan on recognizing a Palestinian state, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region. Israel recalled its ambassadors from Ireland and Norway in response to their announcements. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned Ireland and Norway's actions, saying they would be "rewarding the jihadists of Hamas and Iran."

"Three EU countries". Two plus a non EU member. That was a bit of a rookie mistake.

[khalidmahboob]

Actually Ireland feels the pain of oppression....

[anaeusrex]

Germany still on the wrong side of history. Thank you to these three nations.

[jonasdauerbrenner]

My dear beloved Norway, never been more proud of being a Norwegian <3

Only those countries who are not truly " Independent and Sovereign" themselves would not recognise Palestine as an Independent country.

Germany is always on the wrong side of the history.

At least some countries are not hypocrites like others: USA talking about a two state solution while vetoing any initiative at the UN that helps in that direction. Germany and other european countries talk about human rights, and then supporting the number one country violating them (Russia looks like a toy in regards to war crimes compared to Israel, and yet these countries have sanction Russia but not Israel).

Proud Spanish citizen here! Free Palestine!

Honorable and respected Ireland, Spain and Norway. 👏👍

[lisandroesterga]

Awesome! Well done Norway, Ireland and Spain. If only the EU had the courage....

Israel should send all it's ambassadors to America 🇺🇸 as it's the US'S 51 state anyways.

A tiny piece of land in a vast subcontinent of Arab dominant countries. And yet the hate and discrimination is so fierce that they can't allow Israel to exist without constantly waging war against them (from day one, even after they fled a holocaust by a regime that those Arab countries sided with in WW2). That's the bottom line, looking at it from the thousand foot view. Now decades of grievances and terrible acts by all sides have blurred the big picture. Imagine if those same Arab countries had just accepted Israel and ceded that small piece of land, how different the world could be today.

[wbilham]

The Ambassadors can leave all countries except US, UK, GERMANY of course ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[ponypong]

What territory does it encompass, and who will represent them?

[trevornewton]

Aww, Israel is throwing another tantrum. Suprised Isreal hasn't thrown down the Anti Isreal card!

[netsiteing]

political craziness … recognising statehood of which people, whose leaders, which land, based on what history?

[kabanwood]

Im just curious where is the goverment of this state?
