Ireland, Norway, and Spain have moved a big step closer to establishing diplomatic ties with the Palestinian national government with the official recognition of the Palestinian state.
The whole Israeli people is strongly against this historic choice, which was made public on May 22, 2024. Supporters of the action have been those who identify as Palestinian. Let us examine the decision in more detail so that we may better grasp its ramifications.
This official recognition has resulted from the decision taken by these three European countries to admit the state of Palestine. Reacting quickly, Israel called back its diplomats from Oslo, Dublin, and Madrid to express its displeasure at what it called a “distorted step.”
Result on Diplomatic Relations
The devastating military offensive Israel launched in the Gaza Strip is causing it to become more and more isolated from the rest of the world. Israel is becoming isolated to ever-greater degrees as a result.
The acknowledgement stepped up pressure on Israel to start negotiations for a way out of the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict and into a two-state solution.

The food distribution in the southern city of Rafah has been halted by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Over a million people looked to this area for refuge throughout the battle. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) mentioned a lack of supplies and concerns about safety as a result of the Israeli military’s intensifying activities.
Country Approvals
Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre said, “We must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for Israelis and Palestinians alike: two states, living side by side, in peace and security.” Tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured in the conflict. The Israeli Prime Minister said as much.
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris expressed his hope that this decision would inspire and provide hope to the people of Palestine during one of the most difficult times in their history.
As stated by Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain, “This recognition is not against anyone; it is an act in favor of peace, justice, and moral consistency.”
Ireland and Norway intend to convey a message today to the Palestinians and the world at large: terrorism pays, according to Israel Katz, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel.
Notes of the World
A Palestinian state is already recognized to exist by about 140 of the UN General Assembly members. About 190 countries are represented in the UN General Assembly.
The fact that Spain, Ireland, and Norway have recognized the Israeli-Palestinian issue emphasizes this critical time. This recognition underlines the complexity of the issue and the necessity of communication and a peaceful settlement.
