Taoiseach Simon Harris has said he spoke to his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez earlier this week and they both have a"clear plan" in relation to recognising Palestine.
It comes after reports that Ireland, Spain and a number of other EU member states are considering 21 May as the date on which they will jointly recognise the State of Palestine. Mr Harris and Mr Sanchez spoke by phone on Monday morning after a bilateral meeting between the two leaders in April where efforts to recognise the state of Palestine topped the agenda.
He said the hope of a two-state solution must be kept alive and that this cannot be done if Palestine is not recognised.
