Denmark rejected the bill to recognize Palestine as a state

After Spain, Norway and Ireland officially recognized Palestine, the Danish parliament passed a counter-decision. This was explained by the lack of necessary conditions for the draft law on the recognition of Palestine as a state.

After Spain, Norway, and Ireland officially recognized Palestine, the Danish parliament passed the opposite resolution.

Parliament announced in February that it had rejected a bill to recognize Palestine as a state because the necessary conditions had not been met.

"Most Danish politicians agree that there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East without a two-state solution. Personally, I believe that the recognition of Palestine is the right of its citizens," said Sascha Fache, a member of the Danish Parliament.

Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who previously said the government does not recognize Palestine, did not take part in the vote.
