Recognition of Palestinian Statehood by European Countries

Three European countries, Spain, Ireland, and Norway, have formally recognized a Palestinian state amidst ongoing conflict in the Israel-Gaza region. This move aims to encourage political discussions rather than an immediate establishment of a Palestinian state. By recognizing Palestine, these countries seek to push for further negotiations and diplomatic efforts to address the longstanding conflict, putting pressure on other European nations to follow suit.
