LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — Slovenia's government on Thursday endorsed a motion to recognize a Palestinian state and asked the parliament to do the same.
Parliamentary approval is necessary for the move to take effect. Golob's ruling liberal coalition has a comfortable majority in the 90-member assembly and the vote should be a formality. With its move, Slovenia is set to become the 10th member of the 27-nation European Union to officially recognize a Palestinian state. Norway isn't an EU member, but its foreign policy is usually aligned with the bloc.
