Uk Considering Palestinian State Post-Gaza Ceasefire - Cameron

POSTED ON February 2, 2024 •   GLOBAL NEWS      BY Segun Adewole

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron suggested that the United Kingdom could formally recognize a Palestinian state following a ceasefire in Gaza, without waiting for the outcome of potentially lengthy talks between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron suggested that the United Kingdom could formally recognize a Palestinian state following a ceasefire in Gaza, without waiting for the outcome of potentially lengthy talks between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.

Speaking to The Associated Press during a visit to Lebanon aimed at easing regional tensions, Cameron highlighted that recognition wouldn't happen while Hamas controls Gaza. However, he indicated that recognition could be considered during ongoing negotiations between Israel and Palestinian leaders.

Cameron stressed that UK recognition of an independent Palestine, potentially including recognition within the United Nations, wouldn't mark the beginning or the end of the process. He emphasized the importance of offering the Palestinian people a clear path towards a better future, one that includes the establishment of their own state.

The former British prime minister's comments reflect the UK's willingness to explore alternative routes towards recognizing a Palestinian state, acknowledging the need for progress and a viable solution to the enduring Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

As diplomatic efforts continue amidst ongoing regional tensions, Cameron's remarks underscore the complexities inherent in resolving one of the world's most protracted conflicts. The prospect of UK recognition of a Palestinian state outside conventional negotiation channels signals a potentially significant development in the quest for peace and stability in the Middle East.
