Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said this Wednesday that Spain will recognize an independent Palestinian state on May 28, along with Ireland and Norway, according to a report El Espanol.
“This is the right thing to do. You and I, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will support the Palestinian Authority to lead a unified government in the West Bank and Gaza with its capital in East Jerusalem.” “, Sanchez said.
Sánchez himself said last week that he plans to announce this Wednesday, before a plenary meeting of Spanish deputies, “the day that Spain recognizes a Palestinian state” through a Council of Ministers resolution.
The Prime Minister of the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) said in an interview with La Sexta television last week that he was finalizing coordination with other countries so that “a joint declaration and recognition” of Palestine “can be adopted.”
Norway’s intention was expressed this Wednesday by the Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre: “Recognition of Palestine is a means of supporting moderate forces that are losing ground in this protracted conflict. The war in the Gaza Strip has made it clear that achieving peace and stability must be based on resolving the Palestinian issue,” he said.
