Slovenia Recognizes Palestinian State Following European Trend
Slovenia recognized Palestine as a sovereign state on June 4, following a parliamentary vote with 52 votes in favor. This aligns Slovenia with Spain, Norway, and Ireland. Despite Israel’s opposition, Slovenia’s Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon praised the move as a step toward peace and a two-state solution. The decision was influenced by the Israel-Hamas conflict and supported by Slovenia’s ruling coalition, while the opposition party’s referendum attempt failed.
