EU diplomacy chief urges ‘common EU position’ on Palestinian statehood recognition
European Union foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has urged the 27-member bloc to find common ground after Spain and Ireland joined Norway in announcing they would recognize Palestinian statehood.
“Within the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy, I will relentlessly work with all Member States to promote a common EU position based on a 2-state solution,” Borrell writes on X about the move that has angered Israel.
