Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognise Palestinian state
Irish PM declares ‘unequivocal support’ for two-state solution, as Israel recalls ambassadors from Dublin, Madrid and Oslo
Ireland, Spain and Norway have announced they will formally recognise a Palestinian state on 28 May, triggering an immediate response from Israel, which said it would retaliate by recalling its ambassadors from Dublin, Madrid and Oslo, and withholding vital funds from the Palestinian Authority.
The three European governments made the long-awaited announcements in coordinated moves on Wednesday morning that they said were intended to support a two-state solution and foster peace in the Middle East.
“We are going to recognise Palestine for many reasons and we can sum that up in three words: peace, justice and consistency,” Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, told the parliament in Madrid, to applause. “We have to make sure that the two-state solution is respected and there must be mutual guarantees of security.”

Recognition of Palestine is today impossible as they don’t have normal border and, nor a government
Borders - West Bank and Gaza Strip
Government - Fatah
Neither did Israel in 1948.
Neither did Germany between 1945 and 1949.
The whole trope is comically bad, as somehow there is places where they get recognized and then gain boarders and governments and there is places where this is supposedly impossible.
Israel had a potential leadership around Ben Gurion and Britain was willing to give up of this piece of land.
