On Sunday, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority praised the “courageous decision” taken by Spain, Ireland and Norway to recognize the Palestinian state last week. Mohammad Mustafa, who was in Brussels to attend a meeting with international donors, said he was grateful that the three had effectively joined 143 other countries that backed a Palestinian bid to become a full United Nations (UN) members in a resolution earlier in May.
“Gaza has been going through a very difficult, very alarming situation with the humanitarian losses we see increasing every day, but also the physical damages that will make our job of rebuilding much more demanding. Having said all of that, we’re still hopeful as Palestinians that the many decades of struggle and working towards independence are coming closer than ever before,” Mustafa said.
Speaking alongside Mustafa during a news conference, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell stressed the importance of returning to the political process and gathering “international initiative” to achieve a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Norway’s foreign minister Espen Barth Eide also expressed support for the two-state solution, stressing there was “no alternative in the long run” and called on a ceasefire in Gaza.
On Thursday, Israel reprimanded the ambassadors of Ireland, Norway and Spain over their governments’ announcements, scorning the initiative as a bid to “resurrect… old, failed policies.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denounced the announcements and has called plans for recognition of a Palestinian state a “prize for terrorism.”

Soo…reconizing 67 borders? 48? 47? Is there such thing as a 2024 border?
May absolute unbiased honest and objective Truth and Justice prevail
Yet they won't recognize Taiwan an actual country. Why? Cowardice virtue signaling
Canada will never go against its Master USA
Palestinians have suffered the last 75 years with this genocider state, they called them human animals and they treated like animals, what do you mean who armed the settlers? Are you kidding me.
the world is full of self appointed authorities. If we they werent elected, their opinoin isnt relevant
Global News, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
All the countries that recognize these terrorists need to be banned.
???????
Awarding teroorists is sickening
Nice idea, but does it conflict with any of the 1st century fairytales?
omg
the racists can have all their comments allowed but astute political observation is silenced on this channel, what a joke the Canadian media is, they constantly talk of free speech, but the speed of censorship here is astounding, absolute hypocrisy… shameful 1984 stuff…
I don't really care either way i'm not taking sides. They all end up here anyway.
Those countries have backbones and the balls of steel
Any group that decides they have authority over another is called tyranny. It is a recipe for conflict.
Spain and Ireland are hypocrites
Thanks Global, you've inspired me to create a website dealing with censorship in Canada and how 99 percent of Canadians know nothing about it and actually believe we have a free media, say what you will about Americans, they don't act this way…
Thats not the only thing recognized by the EU. They are also recognizing WEF and their goal of a singular, centralized world power in Switzerland. Besides recognizing terrorist states they are also deciding when they can, by military force, carbon tax every country on the planet without permission from any of them. Inviting world terrorist states to join their group is the least dangerous thing the EU is doing.
completely deleted our whole thread, nice, acting like fascists and also proclaiming free speech. incredible how naive I have been
Free Palestine ??
Catalonia should be recognized as a state as should Taiwan
They have more courage than the USA, Britain and Canada combined, but not more than brave Palestinians defending their land from Zio terrorism.
