ISTANBUL: Israel’s Sunday (May 26) attack on Rafah, which killed at least 35 Palestinians, has further heightened tensions, prompting Spain, Ireland, and Norway to reiterate their announcement to recognise the state of Palestine, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

The bombing has been widely condemned by the foreign ministers of these European countries, underscoring the urgency for a permanent ceasefire and a two-state solution.
