MADRID – Spain’s prime minister said Tuesday the nation’s Cabinet was to recognize a Palestinian state as a European Union rift with Israel widened.
Ireland and Norway were also to make official their recognition of a Palestinian state later in the day.
While dozens of countries have recognized a Palestinian state, none of the major Western powers has done so.
