The Slovenian government has approved a decision to recognise an independent Palestinian state, Prime Minister Robert Golob said, following in the steps of Ireland, Spain and Norway.

"Today the government has decided to recognise Palestine as an independent and sovereign state," he said at a news conference in Ljubljana.

The move is part of a wider effort by countries to coordinate pressure on Israel to end the conflict in Gaza. On Tuesday, Ireland, Spain and Norway officially recognised a Palestinian state, prompting an angry reaction from Israel. Britain and Australia have said they are also considering recognition, but France has said now is not the time.
