Norway, Spain and Ireland will formally recognise the state of Palestine today (May 28).

Key Points: 
  • Norway, Spain and Ireland will formally recognise the state of Palestine today (May 28).
  • Foreign minister Winston Peters has said it is a matter of “when, not if”, but also that recognition will depend on certain conditions.
  • This position represents the longstanding view that statehood was to be an incentive to completing peace negotiations.

The tattered ‘road map’ for peace

  • The exact borders and relationships between the two states would be ironed out in the peace process.
  • This would involve each state’s leaders making appropriate concessions, developing trust and goodwill, and bringing their people with them to a sustainable peace.
  • (The Northern Irish Peace Process, culminating in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, is often given as an example of how this might succeed.)

Recognition of Palestine, not Hamas

  • It has been moribund ever since, with Israeli leaders prevaricating over progressing the idea, while increasing the levels of military and civil oppression faced by Palestinians.
  • New Zealand has supported the two-state solution for decades, and has not been afraid to challenge Israel.
  • It would be one part of a bigger push to achieve a peaceful two-state solution, and it would not mean recognition of Hamas (or any other party).

‘Soft power’ can be effective
