Israel furious as European trio to recognise Palestinian state • FRANCE 24 English
a trifecta of support within moments of one another the leaders of Spain Norway and Ireland made the announcement each of their Nations will recognize the state of Palestine in Dublin the t-shock said it was time we said that the point of recognizing the state of Palestine was coming closer that point has now arrived this is an historic and important day for Ireland and for Palestine in Oslo the prime minister announced that Norway’s official recognition as well as those of Spain and Ireland would come into effect May 28th Norway will therefore regard Palestine as an independent state with all the rights and duties that this entails in Madrid Pedro Sanchez explained why Spain is taking this step now we are obliged to do everything in our power sending humanitarian Aid as we are doing assisting refugees and displaced persons as we are doing but also using all the political lever at our disposal to say loud and clear that we will not allow the possibility of a two-state solution to be destroyed by force which is the only just and sustainable solution to this terrible conflict Israel has condemned the move recalled its envoys to Norway and Ireland and said that recognition rewards terrorism yet is Israel’s offensive in Gaza continues and with more than 35,000 Palestinians killed other nations are also considering recognizing Palestine such as Malta Slovenia and Australia France too says that even without a negotiated peace the issue is no longer taboo at the United Nations over 140 of its 193 countries already recognize the state of Palestine
Israel reacted with fury after three European countries said Wednesday (May 22) they would recognise a Palestinian state, more than seven months into the devastating Gaza war. Ireland, Norway and Spain said they would formally recognise the State of Palestine on May 28. Israel charged that the move amounts to “rewarding terrorism”.

Please recognize my state too
Recognizing terrorism? How long can you oppress a people before they strike back.
They’re not lapdogs to the US and Israel
US credibility is in serious doubt.
Fewrrrry omg 😁
I nominate Spain, Norway and Ireland for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Israel furious is a good sign for whole world.
Will Palestinian recognize Israel?
What about the other Arab nations that don’t recognize Israel
That’s exactly what it is.
Soon Palestine will be more recognized than Israel.
These 3 countries have the balls of steel
Respectable 3 countries that have backbones
These 3 countries are brave and kind humans
Palestinians have the right to have their own state
World is sick and tired of Israels constant complaining and disregard of human life. There's no going back now
Putin looks saint infront of Butcher Netanyahu
Yes 👏
Great speech! Mr Gao.
One small thing, "EV car"? Isn't EV short for Electric Vehicle? "car" is not needed here, right?
Fighters who fights for freedom or against occupation and aggression is called freedom fighters not terrorists.
Britain was so smart to scrape its heels of the European Union in 2016 – good riddance to a sordid alliance of back-stabbing filth! Europe's support of palestine shows the same moral vacuum that existed during the 1939 Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. “There's no more morality in world affairs, fundamentally, than there was at the time of Genghis Khan.” – Noam Chomsky.
Ireland, Spain and Norway are antisemite.
how is it an important day for Ireland? 😂
This has nothing to do with rewarding terrorism. To refuse to recognize Palestine is to reward the terrorists who are doing things that hinder recognition. This rewards the Palestinians that want nothing but peace and self/determination for their own territory. ☮️
Nobody's ever gotten a two state solution recognising only one state
Why use the word "charged" that word implys some sort of prosecution by Israel. How about not sensationalizing and thus destroying the credibility of your work France 24.
Who knows with the liberation of Palestina a conclusion on the second world war can be drawn.
Israel’s privilege of being above everybody else is quickly diminishing
143 countries already recognise Palestine, so get with the program.
SUCK IT UP NETANYAHU. IT'S YOUR FAULT.
Europe supports Palestine. = Chickens support KFC.
Boohoohoo
