Slovenia Moves to Recognize Palestinian State, Awaits Parliament Approval

Slovenia's government has endorsed a motion to recognize a Palestinian state, following similar moves by Spain, Norway, and Ireland, which Israel condemned. Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues in Gaza's Rafah as Israel's military expands its offensive, causing over 1 million Palestinians to flee and creating severe humanitarian challenges. The U.N. warns that the conflict is severely restricting aid deliveries, exacerbating hunger and suffering in the region.
