"Israel" fears the European Union parliament will recognize a Palestinian state, according to the Zionist Ynet website on Sunday.

"Israel" Fears EU Parliament will Recognize Palestinian State: Zionist Ynet

The European Parliament plans to hold a vote on Thursday on a resolution to recognize a Palestinian state, following Sweden's official decision to do so and symbolic votes in Spain, the UK and Ireland.

The moves reflect mounting frustration at "Israel's" expanding settlement program, Ynet said.

"Israel" is working to foil the decision, it added.

"Israel's" ambassador to the European Union David Walzer and members of his delegation held urgent meetings recently with the parties' political advisers. The ambassador also held an urgent briefing meeting with dozens of members of the European Parliament.

After Sweden officially recognized the state of Palestine in October, the Social Democrats announced its widespread support of the move, and the president of the center-left party stated that such a decision would be the only solution to end the "Israeli"-Palestinian conflict.

He also said that the French faction in the European Parliament would push for recognition of a Palestinian state, as well as some other left-wing factions.

The motion is expected to be voted on Thursday by the full European Parliament in France's city of Strasbourg.

France is eyeing such a non-binding resolution after Sweden's center-left government took the lead by officially recognizing the state of Palestine within days of taking office last month [October].

Meanwhile, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that France's parliament would be making a "grave mistake" if it recognizes a Palestinian state in a vote on December 2.

Along with Sweden, three other European legislatures called for their governments to recognize Palestine: Britain, Ireland and Spain. Several other parliaments are going to discuss and vote on the issue, and next in line are France and Denmark.

Furthermore, European Parliament's decision to recognize the State of Palestine could increase pressure on member states to follow the Swedish government and to recognize the State of Palestine.
