Spain and Ireland are discussing a collective plan to recognise Palestine as a state amid Israel’s war on Gaza.
The premiers of Spain and Ireland are set to meet on Friday to discuss a collective plan to recognise Palestinian statehood.
This meeting comes as the death toll of Israel’s war in Gaza has surpassed 33,000.
The mounting deaths, starvation and infrastructure in the besieged enclave have resulted in growing international criticism of Israel. Within Europe, the concerns over Israel’s war on Gaza have also led to shifting positions — including more nations considering the possibility of recognising the Palestinian state.
Here’s where things stand — and how they’re changing.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will meet Ireland’s newly appointed leader Simon Harris in Dublin on Friday. Both Spain and Ireland have in recent weeks confirmed that they will recognise a Palestinian state.
