The recognition of Spain, Ireland and Norway to Palestine is an advance in humanitarian awareness that deserves international appreciation as the release revealed widely on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. The laudable goal of these three European countries is indeed noble by recognizing the existence of the state of Palestine so that it can be followed by other countries in the world.
The attitude of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, who seemed rude and cynical in his comments, was conveyed from the White House on Wednesday, May 22 2024, in accordance with the three European countries declaring their readiness to recognize Palestinian independence. Washington's reaction marked the United States' disappointment with Spain, Norway and Ireland.
Jake Sullivan, White House Advisor, stated that each country can make its own decision regarding recognizing the state of Palestine. However, according to Joe Biden, direct negotiation by the parties is the best way. In fact, he believes that a two-state solution that guarantees Israel's security as well as a future of dignity and security for the Palestinian people is the best way to achieve long-term security and stability for everyone in the region, said Jake Sullivan.
The Prime Minister of Ireland, Simon Harris, revealed that he had discussed with a number of leaders from friendly countries regarding the recognition of Palestine. "After the joint statement by the European countries, he is confident that other countries will support and join in making similar statements," said Simon Harris, Wednesday 22 May 2024. And the Spanish Council of Ministers has agreed and announced its position of official recognition of Palestine on 28 May 2024.

In fact, Norway is the United States' closest ally. They have also made several attempts to mediate peace between Israel and Palestine in recent times. This means that the United States, which is at the forefront of defending and protecting Israel, is starting to lose its prestige and is being left behind by its supporters who also want to reap many political and economic benefits by selling weapons and equipment and war equipment.
So it is clear that the recognition of a number of countries, such as a number of countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, including Indonesia, should pressure the United States to think again, especially regarding the issue of human rights, which is increasingly exposed as just a cover for greed and ambition for power. Meanwhile, Israel, which is known for its arrogance and stubbornness, naturally became angry. Israel Katz as the Israeli Foreign Minister, who is nicknamed the aggressor, said that the attitude of Spain, Norway and Iceland was a gift to Hamas which had sparked their anger because they were attacked on October 7 2023. It was on this basis, said Israel Katz, that they wanted to destroy Gaza. such as brutal actions that killed no less than 35 thousand people, the majority of whom were women and children in a cruel and sadistic manner.
Even so, the United States and a number of countries in Western Europe have promised to recognize Palestine, after the status of Jerusalem and the border dispute between Palestine and Israel are resolved. This means that for the time being, they will still tolerate Israel's wars and violence to cover up their greed for political and economic benefits from bloodshed in Palestine.**(Jacob Ereste).
