Israel blasts Spain, Ireland & Norway after recognising Palestinian state
ISRAEL has declared Spain, Ireland and Norway "pawns of Hamas" after they agreed to recognise a Palestinian state.Pro-Palestine protesters march in London over the weekend days ahead of Norway, Spain and Ireland stating they would recognise a Palestinian stateBut Israel has reacted furiously, summoning the three countries' ambassadors for "reprimand talks" to watch grisly footage of the attacks.
“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 said.
Sanchez argued the two-state solution must be "respected" and argued Netanyahu was jeopardising it with the offensive in the Gaza Strip. Palestinians remain stateless, with most living under Israeli occupation or as refugees in neighbouring states. Today, Palestinians have limited self-governance through the Palestinian Authority in parts of the West bank.Wednesday's announcements from Spain, Norway and Ireland come more than 30 years after the first Oslo agreement was signed in 1993.
"This refusal, and the denial of the right to statehood to the Palestinian people, would indefinitely prolong a conflict that has become a major threat to global peace and security."
