Kushtrim Istrefi, an assistant professor at Utrecht University, says recognition of Palestine as a state by Norway, Spain and Ireland is a result of Israel’s war on Gaza. He says these recognitions send a “clear message” to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a two-state solution, and a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict “cannot be achieved” under the current circumstances.
