00:00 Slovenia has become the latest European country to recognize Palestine following a proposal

00:08 by its prime minister.

00:10 He said he pushed for a swift decision following deadly Israeli attacks in Rafah.

00:15 "This decision has one message.

00:18 The message to both sides is that we want to stop the attacks as soon as possible and

00:25 that we want to release the invaders as soon as possible."

00:30 The country's parliament must ratify the decision before it can come into effect.

00:36 However, this is considered a mere formality as none of the parliamentary parties in the

00:42 90-seat National Assembly are expected to oppose the motion.
