Spain, Norway and Ireland formally recognised an independent Palestinian state in a historic move. “Neither the Palestinian nor the Israeli people can live their lives in security. That is why we need to think differently and act accordingly, Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said at his country’s announcement in Oslo on Wednesday. “In the middle of a war, with tens of thousands of dead and injured, we must keep alive the only thing that can provide a safe home for both Israelis and Palestinians: two states that can live in peace with each other,” he added.
