Ireland, Norway and Spain Join International Push to Recognize a Palestinian State
Ireland, Norway and Spain , Join International Push to , Recognize a Palestinian State.
Spain, Ireland and Norway have all said they would
officially recognize a Palestinian state on May 28, amid
international concern over the ongoing war in Gaza.
Associated Press reports that the decision
may generate momentum for other
EU countries to recognize a Palestinian state.
Seven members of the 27-nation
European alliance have already
officially recognized a Palestinian state.
140 of the about 190 countries in the United Nations
have also already recognized a Palestinian state.
International pressure on Israel has been
growing as the offensive in Gaza has
now stretched into its eighth month.
.
This recognition is not
against anyone, it is not
against the Israeli people.
It is an act in favor of peace,
justice and moral consistency, Pedro SĂĄnchez, Spanish Prime Minister,
via The Associated Press.
On May 11, the U.N.
General Assembly voted to grant
new "rights and priveleges" to Palestine, a sign of
growing support for a potential vote on full membership.

We used to think that
recognition would come

that recognition should
come as an impetus, as a
strengthening of a process, Espen Barth Eide, Norwegian Foreign Minister,

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled âgenocidal warâ on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egyptâs national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

In a violent crackdown during International Quds Day, Nigerian security forces opened fire on pro-Palestinian protesters in Abuja, killing at least 19 people and injuring dozens more. Video footage from the scene shows armed forces securing the perimeter as demonstrators flee, with some being dragged lifeless into trucks by soldiers. This violent suppression follows a pattern of force used against Quds Day demonstrators in previous years, sparking outrage and concern from human rights organizations. The Nigerian government had previously warned of potential unrest, citing concerns over the protesters' demands for justice in support of Palestine. This tragic event has left many questioning the Nigerian government's response to peaceful demonstrations and the growing tension surrounding global solidarity for Palestine.

Around 75,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan. Despite facing strict Israeli restrictions and reported harassment, Palestinians participated in the prayers at the sacred site. The number of worshippers this year was notably lower due to increased security measures. Al-Aqsa Mosque, a significant religious site for Muslims, remains a focal point of tensions, with ongoing restrictions on Palestinian access further intensifying regional grievances.

Netanyahu stunned the nation by openly admitting that Hamas fighters âare not stupid,â rejecting strategies that involve misleading the group for tactical advantage. The shocking outburst followed reports that Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamasâs military wing, had killed several Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops in Gaza. Netanyahuâs remarks, viewed by many as a rare moment of candor and a potential sign of mounting pressure, have sparked fierce debate across Israel as the war drags on with no clear end in sight.

Hamasâs armed wing, an Israeli hostageâidentified by local media as Elkana Bohbotâpleads for help, directly invoking former U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking from captivity in Gaza, Bohbot begs a friend to take his wife to the White House and ask Trump to secure his release. The video, which shows the hostage in a small room speaking on a landline, is the third such clip of him since March. It highlights the deepening psychological warfare in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. While the authenticity of the call remains unverified, the footage has ignited shock and concern, as fears for the hostages' safety intensify amid continued Israeli airstrikes.

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, has issued a stark warning: Iran is no longer far from having the capability to build a nuclear bomb. Comparing Iranâs progress to a nearly completed puzzle, Grossi revealed that the country has all the necessary pieces â they just havenât been assembled yet. His remarks come ahead of tense diplomatic talks in Tehran, amid renewed U.S.âIran contact after years of silence. As the 2015 nuclear deal remains collapsed, fears rise that a new nuclear power may soon emerge in the Middle East.

Israel has killed Hussein Ali Nasr, the Deputy Chief of Hezbollahâs Unit 4400, in a precision drone strike in southern Lebanon. The attack targeted a vehicle in Kaouthariyet El-Saiyad and comes amid mounting tensions and over 2,700 reported Israeli ceasefire violations since November 27. Israel claims Nasr was a key figure in smuggling weapons from Iran via Syria and Iraq. The strike was followed by additional attacks on Houla, Iqlim al-Tuffah, and Arnoun, devastating civilian areas and raising fears of full-scale conflict.
