Palestine Statehood Recognition: Ireland, Norway and Spain Recognise Palestinian State Amid Israel's War on Gaza

Norway, Ireland and Spain on Wednesday, May 22, recognised Palestine as a state amid the Israel-Hamas war. This comes weeks after several European Union countries had argued that a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region. “An historic and important day for Ireland and for Palestine,” said Ireland Prime Minister Simon Harris. Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said he hopes the move will help to bring peace with Israel. Israel-Hamas War: 30 Killed During IDF’s Continuing Ground Assault in Gaza's Rafah.
