A group of UK members of Parliament released a report about the difficult situation for Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank. They are very worried about the lack of movement towards solving the conflict. The group is pushing the British government to officially say that Palestine is a country.
The report asks the government to explain how they would go about recognizing Palestine including the conditions and timeline. They hope this step will help create a two-state solution and improve life for Palestinians. The group thinks it’s important to quickly deal with the humanitarian crisis and protect the rights of people in those areas.
This request to recognize Palestine is a way to push the UK government to take a stronger position in the conflict. Although this is just a recommendation and not official policy it could add to the international push for a Palestinian state.
