Sánchez: We will recognize a Palestinian state

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez tells journalists that he will recognize a Palestinian state by July, Spanish media reports.
Speaking to members of the press accompanying him on his trip to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, Sánchez says the recognition will come before the summer, according to El Pais.
Spain is trying to get other EU countries on board, including Slovenia and Ireland. The three nations plus Malta issued a joint declaration two weeks ago on their readiness to recognize a Palestinian state when “the circumstances are appropriate.”
