Israel summoned the three countries' ambassadors, accusing the Europeans of rewarding Hamas for its Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war.
Norway, Ireland and Spain said Wednesday they would recognize a Palestinian state, a historic but largely symbolic move that further deepens Israel’s isolation more than seven months into its grinding war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel immediately denounced the decisions and recalled its ambassadors to the three countries.
Norway, which helped broker the Oslo accords that kicked off the peace process in the 1990s, was the first, with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre saying “there cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.” The country plans to upgrade its representative office in the West Bank to an embassy.
