Prime Minister Robert Golob says his government has approved a decision to recognise an independent Palestinian state, following in the steps of Spain, Ireland and Norway.
“Today the government has decided to recognise Palestine as an independent and sovereign state,” he said at a news conference in Ljubljana.
The parliament of the European Union member country must also approve the government’s decision in coming days.
Golob also called for the immediate cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and the release of all hostages.
“This is the message of peace,” he said.
