Slovenia has recognised Palestine on the basis of a majority of vote by the country’s parliament, a media report said on Wednesday.
Slovenia’s decision came days after Spain, Norway and Ireland recognised a Palestinian state, the Associated Press reported.
“Lawmakers on Tuesday voted with 52 in favor and no one against recognition in the 90-seat parliament. The remaining lawmakers were not present for the vote”: the report added.
“Dear people of Palestine, today’s final decision of Slovenia is a message of hope and peace,” Slovenia’s Foreign Minister TanjaFajon said on the social media platform X.
Slovenia had approved a plan to recognise the Palestine state and sent this proposal to the parliament for final approval, which was necessary for the implementation of the decision.
Yesterday, a group of United Nations experts asked all countries to recognise Palestine to ensure peace in the Middle East.
