The leaders of Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Malta have announced they stand ready to recognise the State of Palestine as the “only way to achieve peace and security” in the war-ridden region. #EuropeNews

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez suggested that the fact the four leaders represented all sides of the political spectrum - with Spain and Malta governed by centre-left parties, Slovenia by a Liberal party, and Ireland by a centre-right party - showed there was broad political consensus that the recognition of Palestine is necessary for any future peace process.

Although the European Union supports the so-called two-state solution - which would deliver statehood for Palestinians - and is the single biggest donor of aid to Palestinians, it has not yet unanimously backed the recognition of a Palestinian state.

    Hamas != Palestine.

    Israel has been terrorizing Palestine for decades, of course they’re gonna fight back.

    By your logic, Ukraine would be terrorists as well. Oh shit, sorry, wrong colour of skin, my bad.

      Almost all of them support Hamas though, even in the West Bank.

      In fact, it’s extremely likely that Hamas (or some off-shoot) will soon end up as the government there too.

      Why would Ukraine be terrorists? It’s not like they entered Russia taken civilians hostage and committed mass rape and murder in a day of rampage against civilians. That is what Hamas did, that is what the Palestinians mostly support.

        Why would people living in a prison support the only people promising freedom?
