Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris and his counterparts from Norway, Slovenia and Spain urged countries to recognise Palestinian statehood and grant it UN membership to build momentum for a two-state solution. The call comes one year after the governments of all four countries officially recognised a Palestinian State. In a joint a statement the countries said they met to “renew and reinforce” their call for the implementation of the two-state solution. “Only a viable, contiguous Palestinian State, with internationally recognised borders, comprised of Gaza and the West Bank and with East Jerusalem as its capital, can fully satisfy the legitimate national aspirations and the needs of peace and security of both the people of Palestine and Israel,” they said. Ireland was the first EU member state to endorse the idea of Palestinian statehood in 1980. The decision a year ago meant the Government recognised Palestine as a sovereign and independent state, has agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah. The foreign ministers added that their recognition of Palestinian statehood had “an undeniable impact” in creating international momentum for the two-state solution “after many years of stagnation”. “Implementation of the two-state solution and recognition of Palestine is not only morally right, but it also produced the necessary momentum to revive the spirit of the implementation of the two-state solution,” they said. “The momentum that was created in May last year, ultimately culminated on 10 December 2024, when the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted Resolution A/RES/79/81, which called for a high level conference for the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution. “We believe that this high level conference, to be held on 17 June 2025 under UN auspices and co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, represents not only the occasion with the highest degree of international legitimacy, but also the appropriate framework in which to finally advance the implementation of the two-State solution,” the four foreign ministers added. They reminded countries that recognising both Palestine and Israel was a step towards implementing a two-state solution. “We call on all members of the international community to take the necessary steps to make it reality, including individual recognition of Palestine and Israel by those who have not yet done so, UN membership of Palestine and support of an agreement between the parties, with eventual mutual recognition between Palestine and Israel.”
