Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, meanwhile, called for immediate punishment for the Palestinian Authority and expanded settlement construction in the Occupied West Bank as a response.

This is unhinged, wanting to punish the PA for other countries recognizing Palestine.

They were gonna do that anyway; they're just seizing upon what Norway/Ireland/Spain did as a fig leaf of an excuse.

It's a very, "your move, Europe," kind of thing.

"We can make it worse."
