Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognize Palestinian statehood | DW News

Norway, Ireland, and Spain have said they will recognize Palestinian statehood. Several other European countries have indicated in the past few weeks that they plan on recognizing a Palestinian state, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region. Israel recalled its ambassadors from Ireland and Norway in response to their announcements. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned Ireland and Norway's actions, saying they would be "rewarding the jihadists of Hamas and Iran."

yay, Ireland and Spain want to get back Northern Ireland and Gibraltar from UK, that's why. These 2 countries are not supporting Palestinians' lost cause. There shall be more wars because a palestinian state means invalidating post-war land partitions affecting countries particularly in Asia. For one, mainland China is following suit to claim legally, own, control, and exploit south China sea on the basis that it has stamped its name "China" on that body of water; nulling and making void the UNCLOS ruling and Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesian claims on its territorial waters. This palestinian statehood is a precedence for Singapore to be returned to Malaysia, Ukraine & the Baltics back to the defunct USSR, and similar cases.

@@JohnK004 So what you're saying is that every single Palestinian, including innocent women and children, should be held accountable for the actions of a few crazed lunatics? In that case then it definitely does "suck to be them". What a sad and short sighted way to view this conflict.

[@CptFugu]

This is a massive nod to coercion through Terrorism. It is one thing if this came out of negotiations with a law-abiding, unified, and elected government. However, as matters stand, it is a validation of massacre as a state-building tool by a number of organizations bent on ruling by the power of the gun. At a different time and circumstance I'd applaud the measure. As things stand, I am afraid it'll only encourage the spread of anarchy in the world.
