– Storr insisted at a specially convened press conference that Norway would recognize Palestine as an independent, independent state with all rights and obligations.
He also said that “territorial division between the State of Palestine and the State of Israel should be based on the pre-June 4, 1967 borders.”
Spain’s decision regarding Palestine. “This is not a decision against Israel”
Spain took a similar decision, which was officially announced by the country’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The head of the Spanish government insisted that recognizing Palestine was not an “anti-Israel” or “anti-Jewish” decision.
— I want to make one thing clear: this recognition is not against anyone, not against the nation of Israel, which we respect. Especially against the Jews, an admirable people, whose history is connected with Spain. This does not favor Hamas, as some Vox MPs claim, and is trying to take advantage of the case, he said.
Ireland joins Norway and Spain. “Historic and Important Day”
Ireland is among the countries that recognize Palestine.
– Ireland, Norway and Spain announced today that they recognize the Palestinian state, and each of us will take national steps to make that decision. I hope many countries will join us in taking this important step in the coming weeks, Harris said.
“This is a historic and important day for Ireland and Palestine,” he added.
Recognition of the State of Palestine. There is Israel’s reaction
Israel immediately responded to the information from Norway. Foreign Minister Israel Katz summoned Israel’s ambassadors to Ireland and Norway for “immediate consultation”.
– I am sending a clear signal to Ireland and Norway. Israel will not let this go quietly. Ireland and Norway intend to send a message to the Palestinians and the world: “Terror pays,” Israel Katz said, adding that they will “give a gift to Hamas and Iran.”
