"By recognising a Palestinian state, Norway supports the Arab peace plan,” he said and added that the Scandinavian country will"regard Palestine as an independent state with all the rights and obligations that entails.” It added that the World Bank determined that a Palestinian state had met key criteria to function as a state in 2011, that national institutions have been built up to provide the population with important services.
Harris said he thinks other countries will join Norway, Spain and Ireland in recognising a Palestinian state"in the weeks ahead.” "This recognition is not against anyone, it is not against the Israeli people,” Sánchez added, while acknowledging that it will most likely cause diplomatic tensions with Israel.Sánchez argued that the move is needed to support the viability of a two-state solution that he said"is in serious danger” with the war in Gaza.
But in order for it to have an impact, he said, it must come with"tangible steps to counter Israel’s annexation and settlement of Palestinian territory - such as banning settlement products and financial services.” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, speaking after Norway’s announcement, welcomed the move and called on other countries to follow.
