The Spanish legislature announced it will soon hold a vote on the recognition of a Palestinian state, Al-Arabiya news site reported early Sunday morning. On Monday, the British parliament overwhelmingly in favor of a non-binding motion supporting recognition of a Palestinian state. Their vote will not alter government policy, but it does carry symbolic value as Palestinians pursue international recognition. On Tuesday, Frances foreign minister said that Paris should recognize a Palestinian state only if doing so would help achieve peace, not as a symbolic gesture. However, if negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel fail, Paris would not shirk its responsibilities but would recognize the Palestinian state, Laurent Fabius said in answer to a question in parliament.
