Slovenia recognition of a Palestinian state decision is suspended

Via European Jewish Press:

The Slovenian Parliament’s foreign affairs committee has suspended a debate on whether to recognize a "state of Palestine."

The committee was to vote on a draft resolution with the backing of Slovenia Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec before it passes to the parliament for a full vote.

According to officials, the foreign affairs committee suspended its session pending an official government position. The committee will then meet again on the government proposal before the final vote in the plenary, which is expected in March or April.

On Friday, Slovenia’s president Borut Pahor cast doubt on his country recognising Palestine.
