Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Slovenia call for recognition of Palestinian state

Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Slovenia released a joint statement on Wednesday reaffirming their call for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.

The governments said that a June conference to be chaired on Palestine by France and Saudi Arabia offers an opportunity to "advance the implementation of the two-State solution".

They called for “individual recognition of Palestine and Israel by those who have not yet done so, UN membership of Palestine and support of an agreement between the parties, with eventual mutual recognition between Palestine and Israel".
