Until this month/year all of Europe didn't recognize it

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 10 points 3 weeks ago

Several did it last year, Sweden was 2014, Iceland was 2011, Slovenia and Bosnia were the 90s, and a hefty chunk of Eastern Europe did it in the 80s (and has continued doing so in the post-Soviet era). The two highlighted are because of disputed recognitions

Recognizing it changes nothing this is an empty gesture to appease people angry about the Israelis pursuing a final solution against Gaza, and promising to do the same to the West bank.
