Czechoslovakia recognised Palestine, and both successors said they would carry on international legal stuff from Czechoslovakia. However, the Czech government now says that Czechoslovakia never formally recognised Palestine. I don’t know how meaningful that claim is or what it’s based on. Slovakia independently reaffirmed the recognition shortly after the two split
Hungary’s case is just that communist Hungary recognised Palestine and Orban’s government is mad about it (though apparently not mad enough to formally retract the recognition)
Several did it last year, Sweden was 2014, Iceland was 2011, Slovenia and Bosnia were the 90s, and a hefty chunk of Eastern Europe did it in the 80s (and has continued doing so in the post-Soviet era). The two highlighted are because of disputed recognitions
Recognizing it changes nothing this is an empty gesture to appease people angry about the Israelis pursuing a final solution against Gaza, and promising to do the same to the West bank.
What’s the deal with Czechia and Hungary?
Well Hungary with Orban running the show doesn’t like muslims so that’s maybe not so shocking
Shit man Muslims be getting worldwide hate. Sucks.
Disputed recognitions.

Until this month/year all of Europe didn’t recognize it
