Instead, he said, "The specific date is still fluid because we’re still in discussions with some countries in respect of a joint recognition of a Palestinian state."

Martin shared that he also had to host further consultations with other countries' foreign ministers. 

In April, Spanish Premier Pedro Sanchez and Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris revealed that their countries would coordinate the recognition together.
