The UK Government should not unilaterally recognise a Palestinian State

Summary

We urge the UK not to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state before a negotiated peace. We believe the UK should support direct talks, conditioned on Hamas releasing hostages, disarming, & leaving Gaza; & the PA ending ‘Pay to Slay’, removing extremist content from schools, & recognising Israel. We believe unilateral recognition rewards terrorism, betrays the hostages including those with UK ties, and damages peace efforts. We consider that lasting peace must come through direct negotiation, not unilaterally imposed statehood. We think the UK must insist on essential reforms before talks can proceed: Hamas disarmament, PA ending payments to convicted terrorists, and removing violent and racist incitement from the school curriculum. The Palestinian leadership must also recognise Israel’s right to exist for talks to succeed.
