Now Australia, Spain bat for recognising Palestine

Sydney, April 10 (UNI) Australia and Spain broke a long-standing diplomatic taboo in the West, becoming the latest nations to support the official recognition of a Palestinian state, according to media reports.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Wednesday reiterated the need for recognising a Palestinian State as part of the solution to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has claimed an estimated 33,000 Palestinian lives.
Calling the conflict "one of the most deplorable humanitarian disasters of this century," Sanchez said in the Spanish Congress (lower house of Parliament) that "Israel's disproportionate response is overturning decades of humanitarian law and threatens to destabilize the Middle East and the world".
