Israel says it's recalls ambassadors from Ireland and Norway over recognition of a Palestinian state

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israel’s ambassadors from Ireland and Norway to immediately return to Israel, as Norway said it would recognize a Palestinian state and Ireland was expected to do the same.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said on Wednesday: “There cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.”Several European Union countries have in the past weeks indicated that they plan to make the recognition, arguing a two-state solution is essential for lasting peace in the region.

The Scandinavian country “will therefore regard Palestine as an independent state with all the rights and obligations that entails,” Gahr Støre said.
