From the FT story about this, it appears the Israeli far right is going to respond with more repression:

Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, on Wednesday wrote to Netanyahu, demanding “punitive steps” be against the Palestinian Authority in response to the European decisions and other Palestinian moves on the international stage, including seeking action against the Jewish state by the ICC.

Smotrich called for a series of measures including a major expansion of Jewish settlement construction in the occupied West Bank, the establishment of a new settlement for every country that recognises Palestinian statehood, and the freezing of Israeli tax transfers to the PA.

They even steal their taxes and then "transfer" them to them. Why am I not surprised.

Smotrich is either a war criminal or a genocidal totalitarian

When BiBi goes down I hope it is severe.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I hope it's as soon as possible, extremely humiliating, and fatal.

Norway’s not in the EU, so the US, UK and other nations can impose punitive sanctions on them in response. Ireland and Spain are harder to deal with. I imagine Germany will be applying a lot of pressure within EU mechanisms.

Germany does not yet recognize Palestine as an independent state, but an independent Palestinian state within the framework of a two-state solution has long been a firm goal of German foreign policy.

Germany won’t move before Israel does.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

There are 143 (soon 146) countries that recognize the Palestinian state.

I don't think there is gonna be too much they can do simce Norway is now the largest gas supplier to the EU.

[-] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Norway is in Nato...

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I highly doubt those three countries care enough about the recognition to pick a fight with their own allies. Israel would go for it in a heartbeat, but it doesn't have the teeth.
