Spain formally recognized the Palestinian state in a decision approved by its cabinet on Tuesday in parallel with similar moves by Ireland and Norway, government spokeswoman Pilar Alegria said. 

The cabinet had "adopted an important decision to recognize a Palestinian state," which had "one objective: to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace," according to the spokesperson.
