David Cameron Advocates Palestinian State Recognition at UN

Britain considers recognizing a Palestinian state to contribute to an "irreversible" peace settlement, according to Foreign Secretary David Cameron. The move aims to support a two-state solution, despite opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Cameron emphasized the need for Palestinians to see a political horizon for irreversible progress towards a two-state solution. The UK, along with allies, may consider recognizing a Palestinian state at the United Nations to add pressure for a resolution.

Cameron suggested outlining what a Palestinian state would look like and its functioning as part of the recognition process. Netanyahu rejected efforts for a two-state solution, stating concerns about endangering Israel and resisting external coercion.

The possibility of recognizing a Palestinian state will be considered by the UK. when the time is right," as stated by Prime Minister Cameron. Cameron plans his fourth visit to the Middle East to call for stability amid regional tensions, addressing conflicts in Gaza and the Red Sea.

The UK, along with the US and other allies, is working to manage the Red Sea situation, responding to Houthi attacks and securing global trade routes. The ongoing conflict in Gaza requires an immediate pause to allow aid and facilitate a sustainable ceasefire, according to Cameron's diplomatic efforts.
