Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares has stopped short of confirming May 21 as a date when Madrid will recognize Palestine as an independent state, while saying that a decision to this effect has already been made.
On Wednesday, Irish broadcaster RTE reported that Ireland, Spain and several other EU member states were considering recognizing Palestinian statehood on May 21.
"Decisions of the [Spanish] Council of Ministers should never be anticipated … In fact, it is not so much the exact day that is important, but the decision [on the recognition of Palestine], and the decision has already been made," Albares said at a panel discussion with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in Madrid.
