Israel recalls ambassadors to Ireland, Norway citing Palestinian recognition

Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz ordered a recall of his country's ambassadors to Ireland and Norway, citing the countries' decision to recognise a Palestinian state on Wednesday.

"I'm sending today a clear message," said Katz, "Israel won't overlook those who undercut its sovereignty and endanger its security."

The minister warned that the countries' "rash decisions" will have "other dire consequences", adding that similar steps would be taken if Spain follows suit.
