In a recent statement, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz expressed his concerns regarding the potential recognition of a Palestinian state by Slovenian lawmakers. Katz emphasized that such a move would be seen as a “reward” to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. He urged the Slovenian Parliament to reject the recommendation put forth by the government.
The Slovenian Parliament is scheduled to vote next week on whether to officially recognize the State of Palestine, following recent recognitions by Spain, Norway, and Ireland. This decision comes amidst ongoing tensions and debates surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The international community continues to closely monitor these developments, as they have the potential to impact regional stability and future diplomatic relations. It remains to be seen how Slovenian lawmakers will vote and what implications this may have on the broader political landscape.
