This is the best summary I could come up with:
They took place as the Norwegian, Irish, and Spanish unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood was set to officially go into effect on Tuesday.
“I know that the current Israeli government is not convinced of that” but its allies must work to advance it because it’s "the only solution that we can imagine to bring peace and security to the two people who are fighting for the same land.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s current government, which has opposed Palestinian statehood since it was sworn into office at the end of December 2022, has hardened that stance in the aftermath of the Hamas-led October 7 invasion of Israel.
Netanyahu’s critics on the Right, have held that the declaration which passed the Knesset by 99 to 120 votes, was a backhanded way of supporting negotiations for two states.
Many Western and European countries had in the past believed that Palestinian statehood recognition should come at the end of a two-state process.
Now they view it as a supportive step to reinvigorate the process, particularly at a time when the United States is working to advance a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
