In a significant diplomatic move, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris announced on Wednesday that Ireland, along with Spain and Norway, would recognize the state of Palestine. Speaking at a press conference, Harris expressed confidence that more countries would follow suit in the coming weeks.
"Today, Ireland, Norway, and Spain are announcing that we recognize the state of Palestine," stated Harris, as reported by Reuters. He emphasized that each nation would now undertake the necessary national steps to formalize this decision.
"I'm confident that further countries will join us in taking this important step in the coming weeks," added Harris, underscoring the potential for a broader international endorsement of Palestinian statehood.
The announcement marks a significant development in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and highlights a growing momentum within certain European nations to extend formal recognition to Palestine.
