Norway, Ireland and Spain have recognized a Palestinian state in a historic move. Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28.

Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state on Wednesday in a historic move that drew condemnation from Israel and jubilation from the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland.

It was a lightning cascade of announcements. First was Norway, whose Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said “there cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition.”

Gahr Støre said the Scandinavian country will officially recognize a Palestinian state as of May 28. “By recognizing a Palestinian state, Norway supports the Arab peace plan,” he said.

    Y’all got a ton of roundabouts on your roads. I love it! I’ve literally complained to my home town while they’re in the planning stage for 2 new traffic lights.

    We have a large center of town roundabout and a few small ones. No idea why they won’t pursue that option.
