During the planet economical Forum gathering in Riyadh, it was announced that at least 5 EU countries are planning to recognise Palestine's subjectivity in the close future. It is Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Slovenia and Malta.
Several European associate States are expected to recognise Palestinian statehood by the end of May," said European Union abroad policy chief Josep Borrell on Monday. He stated that these include Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Slovenia and Malta.
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said that support for Palestine will shortly scope a "critical mass" in the European Union, which will prompt further associate States to adopt the same position.
The state of Palestine now recognizes 140 of the 193 countries of the world. In 2012, the UN General Assembly recognised Palestine as a state-observator in the Organization. A fresh vote was held on the designation of full membership of Palestine in the UN, but it was vetoed by the US.
Poland was 1 of the first countries to recognise Palestine's sovereignty shortly after its proclamation in 1988. Bulgaria, Hungary, Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Sweden and the Vatican now recognise the Palestinian statehood of the European Union.
