Notable 'Palestine' statement from Borrell: Many EU members will recognize it!

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Borrell made statements on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum special meeting in Riyadh. In his statement, Borrell said that many EU member states are expected to recognize the State of Palestine.

It is assessed that these 4 countries are the ones Borrell referred to in his statement.
