Ireland, Norway, and Spain announced they will formally recognize a Palestinian state on May 28, aiming to support peace and the two-state solution. This coordinated move is not intended against Israel or in favor of Hamas. Israel reacted strongly, recalling its ambassadors and warning of further consequences. Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority welcomed the recognition. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre emphasized the decision supports moderate forces for lasting peace. Ireland and Spain echoed this sentiment, stressing the need for equal rights and dignity for both Palestinian and Israeli peoples.
