Report: European nations threaten to recognize Palestinian State

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that several US allies are threatening to follow the decision of the Swedish government and unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state unless efforts are made to renew the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

“We’re not going to wait forever,” the WSJ cited a senior European official as saying in reference to his country's consideration of recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state, adding that “other European countries are poised to follow Sweden.”
