@wearedigitaldiplomacy: Spain's prime minister Pedro Sanchez said during a rally in Catalonia that he is going to propose the parliament's official recognition of Palestine as a state on May 22, Euronews reports. Sanchez defended the decision "out of moral conviction", considering it "a just cause" and the "only way" to achieve peace and security in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. According to Euronews, Ireland, Malta and Slovenia are expected to follow suit, and have already agreed to take the first steps in that direction. In a phone call last weekend, Taoiseach Simon Harris and Norwegian Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Store, agreed to remain in close consultation in the days ahead. Norway's parliament adopted a government proposal in November for the country to be prepared to recognise an independent Palestinian state. Earlier this week, Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob said his country would recognise Palestine’s statehood by mid-June. #palestine #digitaldiplomacy
