Want a path to success too? \u2022 This is how you join<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nStjordal said the recognition would officially take effect next week. "The goal is to achieve a politically consolidated Palestinian state, emanating from the Palestinian Authority. We believe that the two-state solution is in Israel's best interest," he said. Immediately after Norway, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris also officially announced recognition of a Palestinian state. Harris said: "I am sure that other countries will join us soon. We hope that they will do so in the coming weeks." Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez immediately followed suit: "We will recognize a Palestinian state on May 28." Slovenia is also expected to announce unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state today. Following the decision, Foreign Minister Israel Katz ordered the immediate recall of Israel's ambassadors to Ireland, Norway, and Spain to consultations. The Foreign Minister also ordered the summoning of the ambassadors of Ireland, Spain, and Norway to a reprimand call during which they will watch the video of the abduction of the female observers: "History will remember that Spain, Norway, and Ireland decided to award a gold medal to the Hamas murderers and abductors who raped girls and burned babies. I have ordered the immediate summoning of the ambassadors to reprimand calls - during which they will watch the horrific video of the abduction of the female observers to illustrate to them what a twisted decision their governments have made. Israel will not remain silent about this - their move will have serious consequences." Minister Katz said earlier today, immediately after the decision by Norway and Ireland: "I am sending a clear and unequivocal message today - Israel will not be complacent in the face of those who undermine its sovereignty and endanger its security." In a statement, the Foreign Minister said: "Ireland and Norway intend to send a message today to the Palestinians and the entire world - terrorism pays. After the terrorist organization Hamas carried out the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, after committing the most horrific sexual crimes the world has ever seen, these countries have chosen to give an award to Hamas and Iran and recognize a Palestinian state." "The twisted step by these countries is an injustice to the memory of the victims of 7\/10. It is also a blow to efforts to return the 128 kidnapped men and women - it is a tailwind for the jihadists of Hamas and Iran, which distances the chance of peace and undermines Israel's right to self-defense." He added: "I am sending a strong message today to Ireland and Norway: Israel will not remain silent on this. I have just ordered the return of the Israeli ambassadors from Dublin and Oslo to Israel for urgent consultations in Jerusalem. The hasty move by the two countries will have further serious consequences. If Spain carries out its intention to recognize a Palestinian state, a similar step will be taken against it. "The Irish-Norwegian parade of folly does not deter us, we are determined to achieve our goals: restoring security to our citizens, overthrowing Hamas and returning the kidnapped. There are no more just goals than these.".\r\n\r\n
