Spain, Ireland, Norway set to recognize Palestinian statehood
ai generated text
Spain, Ireland, and Norway have recognized Palestine as an independent state, a move that has been met with optimism from Palestinians. This decision brings the total number of countries recognizing Palestine to 145 out of 193 UN member states. The recognition is seen as a significant step towards achieving peace in the region. However, Israel has responded furiously to the move, withdrawing its ambassadors from Ireland, Norway, and Spain and formally reprimanding their envoys.

Rewarding terrorism will not bring peace and neither will it stop us from defeating Hamas.
We have condemned in the strongest possible terms the Hamas attacks, we naturally support Israel's right to defend itself — but in line with international law.
We will not recognize changes in the 1967 border lines other than those agreed to by the parties.
This is a historic decision that has a single goal, and that is to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace.
Pedro Sánchez, Hamas thanks you for your service.
We will not put up with harming Israel's sovereignty and security.
It is not a decision we take against anyone, certainly not against Israel, a friendly people whom we respect and with whom we want to have the best possible relationship. We want to show our categorical rejection of Hamas. Spain condemned from the very first moment the attacks of October 7. The Palestinian Authority is our partner for peace.
Norway has been one of the most fervent defenders of a Palestinian state for more than 30 years.
We cannot stop. Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.
