Slovenia votes to recognize Palestinian state

Slovenia’s parliament has approved a motion to recognize a Palestinian state, overcoming an opposition attempt to delay the measure until a national referendum could be held.

The vote passes 52-0 in the 90-member body.

The move comes a week after Spain, Norway and Ireland also recognized a Palestinian state, sparking Israeli anger.
