Would a recognized Palestine help end the Gaza conflict?
Calls to recognize Palestine as a state are much debated. Advocates say the move would have legal and symbolic power. But critics argue that it won't change the situation on the ground or solve the real problems.
Although Germany does not consider Palestine a country, a majority of the world's states — 139 out of a total of 193 — at the United Nations do. What's significant this time, though, is that recognition is apparently being reconsidered by the US, a country that has previously vetoed almost every attempt to make Palestine a country.
The UK also seems to be thinking about it even though in the past, the country has been just as opposed to the move as the US.
Isn't Israel's settler policy of recent decades purposely designed to undermine a two state solution?

Not much point in recognising the PA when it doesn't even rule over Gaza, is there? I mean, it should happen anyway, but probably limited effect on both Israel and Hamas...
I fully believe anyone that claims to support a 2 state solution but doesn't recognise pestine as a state just supports Israel but knows they can't advocate for genocide.
At this point recognition would serve to finalize the alienation of Palestinians from their chance to gain democratic rights over the government which authors most of the laws they have to live by in practicality
Palestine has rejected a two-state solution 4 times. Why would this time be any different?
you seem less than fully aware of the current situation. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/01/1145807
From the historical perspective:
How does Israel now accept a two state solution when they have to negotiate with Hamas? An organization who has the destruction of Israel as a central pillar in their Covenant document.
If me and a bunch of my mates declared the place you live an independent country that we rule over and you don't get a say. Then when you push back say "2 state solution, where we still own your house" are you going to accept that?
