Norway's prime minister says Norway is formally recognizing Palestine as a state

Norway’s prime minister says Norway is formally recognizing Palestine as a state. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said on Wednesday: “There cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.” Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28.

The move comes as Israeli forces have led assaults on the northern and southern edges of the Gaza Strip in May, causing a new exodus of hundreds of thousands of people, and sharply restricted the flow of aid, raising the risk of famine. The Scandinavian country “will therefore regard Palestine as an independent state with all the rights and obligations that entails,” Gahr Støre said.
