The UK and France will abandon previous plans to recognise a Palestinian state at an upcoming conference, according to diplomats.

The Guardian has reported that French officials briefed their Israeli counterparts this week that the conference would not be the moment for recognition.

Instead, it will now focus on outlining steps towards recognition, contingent on a series of measures and concessions from the Palestinians.

These will include a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of Israeli captives, reform of the Palestinian Authority, economic reconstruction and the end of Hamas rule in Gaza.

Fucking UK and France did a 180 and went straight back to enabling genocide?

Fuck Europe, other than Spain and Ireland you’re all a bunch of fucking ZioNazis.

How recognizing palestine as a state mean not enabling a genocide?

The genocide is enabled by not stopping providing arms or components used for manifacturing weapons to israel and not doing iran and russia level of sanctions
