AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Slovenia raised the Palestinian flag today alongside its own flag and the flag of the European Union on the government building in the capital, Ljubljana, following its official recognition of the State of Palestine as an independent state.
Prime Minister Robert Golob of Slovenia announced yesterday his country's recognition of the State of Palestine, making it the fourth country to take a similar step within days.
Golob stated that Slovenia decided to recognize Palestine as an independent sovereign state within the 1967 borders, in accordance with international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions.
He added, "This decision carries one message only, which is our call for the cessation of hostilities in Gaza," explaining that the government will refer the decision to Parliament, seeking support from the lawmakers.
