Norway, Ireland, and Spain have said they will recognize Palestinian statehood. Several other European countries have indicated in the past few weeks that they plan on recognizing a Palestinian state, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region. Israel recalled its ambassadors from Ireland and Norway in response to their announcements. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned Ireland and Norway's actions, saying they would be "rewarding the jihadists of Hamas and Iran."
