Spain, Ireland, Norway to recognise Palestinian state today

TEHRAN, May 28 (MNA) – Spain, Ireland, and Norway are set to formally recognize a Palestinian state later today, joining 144 other countries that have already done so.

Ireland’s cabinet is expected to affirm the decision after several hours of debate this morning in parliament.

PM Pedro Sanchez has been speaking at the Moncloa Palace on the country’s recognition of a Palestinian state.

“The recognition of the state of Palestine is not only a matter of historical justice, but we are all aiming at establishing peace,” he said, Al Jazeera reported.

Continuing his remarks, Spain’s PM Sanchez emphasized the country’s vision for a unified and geographically connected Palestine.

The state of Palestine must be viable, with the West Bank and Gaza connected by a corridor and with East al-Quds as its capital, said Sanchez.
