The governments of Spain, Malta, Ireland and Slovenia intend to recognize the Palestinian state, said Borrell, the head of European diplomacy.

Today, on May 10, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, announced this on the air of the Spanish radio station RNE.

According to him, Spain will recognize Palestine on May 21, and Malta, Ireland and Slovenia are planning to recognize it soon.
