Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says an independent Palestinian state should be recognised as soon as possible.
“Spain will strive for Palestine to become a full member of the UN,” Spanish PM Sanchez said during a visit to Slovenia as part of a tour to boost EU support for recognising a Palestinian state.
Last month, Spain, Ireland, Malta and Slovenia signed a joint statement saying they stand ready to recognise a Palestinian state when the move could “make a positive contribution and the circumstances are right.”
“For Slovenia, the key question is when to recognize Palestine,” Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob said, adding, “Not if but when.”
