Britain and France have announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, reflecting deep frustrations with Israel's conduct of the war. Recognition would establish diplomatic contact between the Palestinian Authority and the recognizing nations, and provide a basis for revising bilateral relations with Israel. Most UN countries already recognize Palestine, and the move by Britain and France would bolster this stance and send a political message. The goal is to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict despite resistance from Israel's current government.
