The Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit hailed on Wednesday the decision of Spain, Norway, and Ireland to recognize Palestine as a "courageous" step, effective from May 28.

Aboul Gheit said in a statement that he "highly welcomes the important step" taken by the three countries.

He added in a post on X, "I salute and thank the three countries for this step, which puts them on the right side of history in this conflict."

He concluded, "I congratulate Palestine on this positive development."
