Norway’s parliament adopts a resolution calling on the government to be ready to recognize an “independent” Palestinian state.
The proposition was made by Norway’s ruling coalition to counter a resolution by smaller parties calling for an immediate recognition of a Palestinian state.
Passed with an overwhelming majority in parliament, it said the assembly “asks the government to be ready to recognize Palestine as an independent state when recognition could have a positive impact on the peace process, without making a final peace accord a condition.”
The wording means that no recognition is likely in the immediate future, but is a sign of the concern over the Israel-Hamas war in national assemblies across Europe.
