Official Representatives to the #UN from #Ireland, #Spain and #Norway pose for photos at the UN with the Palestinian UN representative, after the 3 became the first European countries to officialy recognise #Palestinian #Statehood. #Israel’s current #genocide attempt in Gaza has revived support in #Europe for Palestinian statehood. Norway, Spain and Ireland have defied threats from Israel, which recently announced its intent to recall its envoys from Ireland and Norway for discussions over the move. Other European nations, such as #Malta and #Slovenia in March, have also expressed “readiness to recognise Palestine“ when “the circumstances are right“. #Australia has recently floated the possibility of unilaterally endorsing Palestinian statehood. Additionally French President Emmanuel #Macron has also said the question of recognising a Palestinian state without a negotiated peace is no longer “a taboo for #France“. Source: MessageInABottle
