For Spain of all places to do this is incredibly ironic.

If you take a look at the map in the wiki page about the International recognition of the State of Palestine you will notice that most of the countries that have not recognised Palestine have been colonisers. Having them change their position is a necessary thing that needs to be done to for peace in the region.

As of May 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.

Just looking forward to the next country that will recognise Palestine.
