Spain and Norway announced on Wednesday that they will recognize the Palestinian state as of May 28, despite Israeli warnings.
The Prime Ministers of Norway and Spain confirmed this announcement.
Norwegian media sources, without revealing their identities, reported that the Norwegian government will declare recognition of an independent Palestinian state on Wednesday.
An informed source stated that the Irish government will also announce recognition of the Palestinian state on Wednesday, a move strongly opposed by Israel.
In recent weeks, Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and Malta—European Union member states—have indicated their intention to recognize a Palestinian state in a likely coordinated declaration, considering the two-state solution essential for lasting peace in the region.
These efforts come at a time when the rising number of casualties in Gaza due to the Israeli offensive against Hamas has led to global calls for a ceasefire and a permanent solution for peace in the area.
Since 1988, 139 out of 193 United Nations member states have recognized the Palestinian state.
The Irish government stated that recognition will complement peace efforts and support the two-state solution.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned on Tuesday that this step would lead to further instability in the region and jeopardize peace prospects.
The Irish government announced that the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister will address the media on Wednesday morning, but specific details were not disclosed.
