Palestinians: Recognition of States
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what criteria they use to judge when the recognition of the state of Palestine would be appropriate.
- Answer
-
We will recognise a Palestinian state at a time when it best serves the objective of peace. Bilateral recognition in itself cannot end the occupation. Without a negotiated settlement, the occupation and the problems that come with it will continue. The UK is strongly committed to a two-state solution as the best way to bring about stability and peace in the region.
