The US has long been bias towards Israel and after the American veto of recognising the state of Palestine two weeks ago countries have got together to bypass the United Nations and America's veto and recognise Palestine themselves.
Spain, Norway and Ireland’s now join Sweden, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania with the UK, Australia, Malta and Slovenia considering recognising Palestine amid a deeper frustration over the long refusal of Israel to advance towards a two-state solution as it swallows up Palestinian land for its own settlements.
Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, said recognition was needed to support the only alternative that offers a political solution but Spain's prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, accused Israel’s prime
minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, of carrying out a “massacre” in Gaza and and the Irish prime minister, Simon Harris, said he expected other countries to join them recognising a Palestinian state in the
coming weeks.
The foreign minister, Israel Katz, ordered the immediate return of the Israeli ambassadors to the three countries for consultations and warned that further “severe consequences” could follow.
The recognition comes hard on the heels of Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, being told that warrants are being sought against them for war crimes by the international criminal court as well as Israel being investigated for genocide against the Palestinians.
Israel is fast becoming a pariah and becoming ever more diplomatically isolated, a situation which regrettably it took decades and a genocide to arrive at.

why do you never mention the times that leaders representing the gaza area rejected two-state solutions? remember, yasser arafat and him backing out? hmmm? no, that fact doesn't serve your close-minded agenda...
personally, i think it would help Israel if the gazans had a nation. then when they attack Israel, the response would be nation versus nation instead of nation versus terrorists using their "own people" as body armor...
the people of gaza don't really want a nation. they want to eliminate Israel.
once again, the europeans act as if being "nice" to the likes of hamas will result in peace. yawl aren't too smart are you?
Once again, the Americans act as if being "nice" to the likes of Netanyahu will result in peace. Yawl aren't too smart are you?
we aren't nice to Netanyahu to result in peace. we support our ally (well except the far left) so they can continue to exist and keep iran from dominating the region - which dramatically benefited the uk and eu economy the past 70 years. you are welcome ungrateful
