Kir Stamor To change the government’s policy, this week will go to his emergency cabinet meeting. Identify a Palestinian kingdom.
This question that will bother the Prime Minister, although it will not be whether he wants to recognize or not Palestine as a country, But determining that formal recognition will have the maximum effect.
The problem is that identifying a state is a time. Unlike a Brexit Agreement or a business deal, some details are not going back to go back to go back – with it, there is no place for error.
This means that to do this for Sir Kir, he has to ensure that he will achieve his desired goals. The issue would be whether to solve the political problem is more important than using it to achieve peace.
Current policy
The current policy is to support a two -state solution and to identify a Palestinian state as part of the peace process – without specifying when it would happen.
Sir Keer has moved forward and said in a strong statement on Thursday. A Palestinian kingdom is “an unqualified right” Of Palestinian people.
For some it was taken as a strong sign that he is getting closer to real formal recognition.
The reason for this is that once a state is formally recognized, it attains diplomatic status and can be recognized by international bodies in principle – so this step will not be purely symbolic.
In addition, the historical status of Britain as a pre -colonial power that effectively created a modern state Israel A symbolic weight is added by recognizing a Palestinian state through the Balfor Declaration.
Political pressure
President Emmanuel Macron on Friday announced that France will be the first G7 country to recognize the state of Palestinian, pressurizing Sir Keir to follow the suit.
Already his cabinet has been divided on the issue, the data such as justice secretary Shabana Mahmood and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Reneer insist on recognition, while other other doubts more than a initial step like Chanhel Reves.
Recognition is supported by a clear majority in the labor party, and Jeremy Corbin’s new party On the left- which has made Israel-Palestine Its primary policy field – adds even more pressure.
with More than 200 MPs from nine separate parties signing a letter Supporting the proposal for this in Westminster is also clearly a hunger.
But the other side weigh Israel’s Labor Friends (LFI)Which is a group that is more powerful than the requirement within labor to correct the damage to antisemitism that was allowed to flourish under the leadership of Corbin. It also supports several senior cabinet members.
LFI supports a two-state solution and the final recognition of a Palestinian state, but warns that if the UK goes to quick recognition, it will ruin the opportunity to maximize the effect.
All about Trump
In the weekend, Minister James Murray said that 140 countries have recognized a Palestinian state, but it has no effect on the peace process.
There is a feeling that it survives Britain’s declining effects with Israel, although Benjamin Netanyahu’s attitude towards international criticism that the ship may already leave.
The problem is that US State Secretary Marco Rubio was very important for France’s statement last week, and there were speculation that Stamor recognition did not want to separate the question. Until he was bilateral with Donald Trump in Scotland Outside the first way.
But the UK government now understands that the only way to bring Israel back into line and to resume is to force everyone’s hand to the administration of Trump for the peace process.
There is a danger that if he proceeds with the recognition of the Palestinian state, he may lose that final impact on the White House.
But in the end Sir Keir is a Prime Minister who is honored abroad, but losing control of the house. He can decide that political problems accreditation resolves domestic, whether it has little or no effect on the peace process.
