Norway will recognise Palestinian statehood on May 28

The government of Norway has announced it is formally recognising an independent Palestinian state, which will enter into force next Tuesday. Israel has strongly opposed the move. Several other European countries including Ireland and Spain are expected to follow suit. The Norwegian Prime Minister says this sends a strong message on where the country stands on Israel's devastating war on Gaza. Israel has recalled its envoys to Ireland and Norway in response. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has banned Al Jazeera in Israel, that's why we're reporting from the Jordanian capital, Amman, where Imran Khan is standing by.
