DUBLIN — Ireland will move to recognize a Palestinian state in the coming weeks, Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin says in Dublin.
Martin says he will bring a formal proposal on recognition of a Palestinian state to the government when “wider international discussions” are complete.
“Be in no doubt, recognition of a Palestinian state will happen,” he tells the Irish parliament during a speech.
Delaying recognition “is not credible or tenable any longer,” he says.
Martin tells local news site the Journal that the formal proposal will happen “in the next couple of weeks.”
