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”.

  1. 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.

  2. 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. ☮️

  3. 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.
