Top UK diplomat says Britain could recognize a Palestinian state before a peace deal with Israel
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that U.K. recognition of an independent state of Palestine, including in the United Nations, "can't come at the start of the process, but it doesn't have to be the very end of the process."
Britain’s top diplomat said Thursday that his country could officially recognize a Palestinian state after a cease-fire in Gaza without waiting for the outcome of what could be years-long talks between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.
Foreign Secretary David Cameron, speaking to The Associated Press during a visit Thursday to Lebanon intended to tamp down regional tensions, said no recognition could come while Hamas remained in Gaza, but that it could take place while Israeli negotiations with Palestinian leaders were continuing.
U.K. recognition of an independent state of Palestine, including in the United Nations, “can’t come at the start of the process, but it doesn’t have to be the very end of the process,” said Cameron, a former British prime minister.

Just a reminder to everyone that this guy fucked a pig when he was at uni.
He also fucked over the entire country, the people, it's businesses and economy, by arranging the vote for Brexit.
Don't forget austerity, that in itself had a huge impact.
Let's not forget the Bullingdon Club shenanigans.
For those not aware of the notoriety of the Bullingdon Club take a look here .
Isn't there no evidence of that?
The internet never let's facts get in the way of memeing about people.
You're right, we should go with verifiable facts.
Just a reminder, this is the guy that promised a Brexit vote to stop his party from splitting in half, actually followed through with that promise, and pikachu faced when he got outplayed by his own party's propaganda machine, then ran away to leave everybody else to deal with the mess.
You're correct there is no evidence, and in fact the people who published the story (not even journalists just people trying to write a scandalous book) eventually retracted it.
However it's stuck because it's the sort of thing they probably would do. The Tories are like that.
It annoys me though because there's many many many many many reasons to criticize him, and a potentially untrue story isn't one of them. Even if he'd actually done it, it would have probably been the least worst thing he's done, but people repeat it because it's funny. Unlike the other stuff which is just depressing.
Still not as bad as the best likudnik
Ahh who doesn't remember those uni days fondly. 🥲 I was in Beta Kappa Oink!
