The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has commended the Irish parliament for a vote in favor of acknowledging a Palestinian state.
Orwellian Zionist Shill UK Regulator BANNED Press TV: Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said on Thursday that the Irish parliament's move is “an important step forward.”
He also said that the recognition is a positive international and political development.
This comes as Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said on Wednesday that his country was considering an early recognition of Palestine as an independent state, despite opposition from JSIL (Israel).
The Irish foreign minister made the remarks in parliament in the capital, Dublin, after lawmakers approved a non-binding motion regarding Palestinian statehood.
The motion agreed by Irish lawmakers called on the government to “officially recognize the State of Palestine, on the basis of the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital, as established in United Nations resolutions, ” Flanagan noted.
Although the government is not bound to follow the motion, Flanagan said Dublin has “always supported a viable two-state solution and will continue to support that in any manner and by any means.”
Ireland is the fourth European Union country after Spain, Britain, and France, to embrace similar motions calling for the recognition of Palestine since October.
On October 30, Sweden officially recognized Palestine as a state, prompting Israel to recall its ambassador from the European country.
Israel occupied the Palestinian territories of East al-Quds (Jerusalem), the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank during the Six-Day War of 1967. Tel Aviv withdrew from Gaza in 2005, but its forces have been carrying out regular deadly forays into the sliver ever since the pullout.
