Israel warns 4 European countries against recognizing a Palestinian state. Spain announced on Friday that it had agreed with Ireland, Malta and Slovenia to take the first steps towards recognizing the state declared by the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which has so far resulted in the death of 32,226 Palestinians and the injury of 74,518 others. The aggression also caused massive destruction of infrastructure, leaving an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” according to Palestinian and international reports.
