Norway itself is not part of the EU.<\/p>\n<p>The diplomatic move by the three nations was a welcome boost of support for Palestinian officials who have sought for decades to establish a statehood in east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip \u2014 territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war and still controls.<\/p>\n<p>The formal recognition by Norway, Spain and Ireland \u2014 which all have a record of friendly ties with both the Israelis and the Palestinians, while long advocating for a Palestinian state \u2014 is planned for Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Some 140 countries \u2014 more than two-thirds of the United Nations \u2014 recognize a Palestinian state but a majority of the 27 EU nations still do not. Several have said they would recognize it when the conditions are right.<\/p>\n<p>The EU, the United States and Britain, among others, back the idea of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel but say it should come as part of a negotiated settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium, which holds the EU presidency, has said that first the Israeli hostages held by Hamas need to be freed and the fighting in Gaza must end. Some other government favor a new initiative toward a two-state solution, 15 years after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s handover of papers came only two days after the United Nations\u2019 top court ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah in the latest move that piled more pressure on the increasingly isolated country.<\/p>\n<p>Days earlier, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court requested arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with Hamas officials.<\/p>\n<p>The war in Gaza started after Hamas-led militants stormed across the border, killing 1,200 people and taking some 250 hostage. Israel\u2019s ensuing offensive has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, and has caused a humanitarian crisis and a near-famine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/eu-norway-spain-palestinians-israel-f218311fdd7a94511c69e5a5d81fe6d8\"><strong>SOURCE:<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.apnews.com\/fa\/ba\/9258a7114f5ba5c7202aaa1bdd66\/aplogo.svg\" alt=\"AP Logo\" width=\"46\" height=\"54\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norway handed diplomatic papers to the Palestinian prime minister on Sunday in the latest step toward recognizing Palestinian statehood, a largely symbolic move that has infuriated Israel.
