Well it official Spain and Norway officially recognize Palestinian state Spain and Norway, along with Ireland, became the most recent countries to recognize Palestinian statehood on Tuesday, drawing anger from Israel. Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said that the day would "remain etched in Spanish history" after the Cabinet approved the move. Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide also hailed the "milestone" moment as the decision to recognize a Palestinian state came into effect. The three European countries had planned a simultaneous recognition in the hopes that its symbolism would spur other countries to also commit to recognition, however, on the same day the Danish parliament voted down a proposal for such a move. "It's the only way of advancing toward what everyone recognizes as the only possible solution to achieve a peaceful future, one of a Palestinian state that lives side by side with the Israeli state in peace and security," Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a televised www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-spain-norway-ireland-recognize-palestine/live-69199902

And now Ireland make it official Ireland officially recognizes the Palestinian state The Republic of Ireland has recognized the official status of a Palestinian state, the government said on Tuesday. "The Government recognises Palestine as a sovereign and independent state and agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah," it said in a statement. "An Ambassador of Ireland to the State of Palestine will be appointed along with a full Embassy of Ireland in Ramallah." Irish Taoiseach (prime minister) Simon Harris said the decision had been taken to recognize the Palestinian state to protect the hope for a two-state solution. "It is about believing that a two-state solution is the only way for Israel and Palestine to live side by side in peace and security," Harris said. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-spain-norway-ireland-recognize-palestine/live-69199902
