Other European countries considering Palestine recognition: Norway

When asked if other countries are considering recognising Palestine, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said that other capitals beyond Ireland and Spain are reflecting on the question.

"My impression is that there is reflection going on in some more countries, but I will not go into detail on that. I think they will make their position known when they are ready to do so," he said.

"The United States have responded to us that they are not in a position or not ready to make that… recommendation. But they have understood, and they respect the decision we have taken," he added.
