Ireland, Norway, and Spain to Recognize Palestinian Statehood on May 28 Amid Mixed Reactions
May 26, 2024, 10:30 AM
Ireland, Norway, and Spain have announced their formal recognition of Palestinian statehood, a significant diplomatic move that has garnered both praise and criticism. The recognition was described as a step towards peace in the Middle East by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and was seen as an 'anti-Hamas' step by Norway's Foreign Minister. Spanish Foreign Minister emphasized it as 'justice for the Palestinian people.' The recognition has been welcomed by Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti and is expected to encourage more countries to follow suit. However, the move has infuriated the Israeli government, with Israel's Labor Party deputy calling it a 'windfall for terrorist organizations.' The formal recognition by Norway and Spain is set to take place on May 28, with Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris announcing his country's decision shortly after. The recognition aligns with a broader international trend, with over 140 countries now supporting Palestinian self-determination.
