Oz, Grossman, Yehoshua call on Europe to recognize ‘Palestine’
Three famous authors Amos Oz, David Grossman and A.B. Yehoshua signed their names to a public petition with 878 signatures of Israelis that calls on European nations to recognize Palestine as a state.
The petition, along with a letter, was sent on Sunday to members of Irelands House of Commons, which is scheduled to vote on Wednesday on a nonbinding motion, already approved by its upper house, in favor of a Palestinian state.
The same letter was also sent to members of the Danish parliament, which is scheduled to hold a similar vote on Thursday of this week. Letters will also be sent to the Belgian parliament and the European Union Parliament, which are also voting on the matter this month.
British, Spanish and French parliaments have all approved nonbinding motions to recognize Palestine as a state.
