After meeting with his Spanish counterpart on Friday, Ireland’s new prime minister, Simon Harris, stated that the country is on the verge of legally recognizing a state for Palestine and would prefer to do so in coordination with Spain and other like-minded nations.
Spain, Ireland, and Malta, three nations that have long supported Palestinian rights, declared last month that they would collaborate to push for the creation of a Palestinian state. The attempts coincide with calls for a ceasefire and a long-term solution for peace in the region coming from around the world due to the increasing number of deaths in Gaza from Israel’s onslaught to drive out Hamas.
The first premier to visit Dublin since Harris took office this week, met with Harris. “Let me this evening say we assess that that point is coming much closer and we would like to move together in doing so,” Harris said.
“To give the choice more weight and to convey the most potent message, we would prefer to proceed forward with the involvement of as many people as possible. Both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples have a right to a safe and peaceful future—equal respect and sovereignty.
