Ireland, Spain and Norway's decision to recognise a Palestinian state has prompted an angry response from Israel who called it a 'reward for terrorism'.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz says a decision by Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognise a Palestinian state will have "severe consequences". Ireland, Spain and Norway say they will recognise a Palestinian state on 28 May, prompting an angry response from Israel which said this amounted to a "reward for terrorism" and recalled its ambassadors from the three countries' capitals.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said the only possible political solution between Israelis and Palestinians was "two states living side by side in peace and security". Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said he did not expect the recognition to stop the war in Gaza but it was "a key component" for an Arab-led peace initiative.
