In a groundbreaking announcement, Britain is poised to explore the recognition of a Palestinian state, signaling a significant shift in diplomatic strategy aimed at cementing “irreversible” peace settlement in the Middle East.

Foreign Secretary David Cameron emphasized the importance of this move in advancing towards a two-state solution, despite staunch opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“We should be starting to set out what a Palestinian state would look like – what it would comprise, how it would work,” said Cameron during his speech on Monday.

“As that happens, we, with allies, will look at the issue of recognising a Palestinian state, including at the United Nations. This could be one of the things that helps to make this process irreversible.”

“We should be starting to set out what a Palestinian state would look like – what it would comprise, how it would work,” he said.

Cameron underscored the necessity for Palestinians to envision a tangible path towards a resolution, asserting that such recognition would provide the crucial political horizon needed for progress in the Middle East.

“There is a path that we can now see opening up where we really can make progress, not just in ending the conflict, but progress in finding a political solution that can mean peace for years rather than peace for months,” he said.

Cameron highlighted a stark truth, declaring, “If the last 30 years tells us anything, it is a story of failure.”

The UK’s stance expressed is that this “failure” extends to Israel as well, as Cameron asserted that despite economic growth and investments in security measures, the fundamental aspiration of security remained unfulfilled.

“They had a growing economy, yes they had rising living standards, yes they invested in defense and security and walls and the rest of it, but they couldn’t provide what a state most wants, what every family wants, which is security,” stated Cameron.
