UK to recognise Palestine as a state in September

"Unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation".

It is largely symbolic but it does mean the tide is turning!

Also: interesting to see that they frame it as largely contingent on Israeli behaviour

Well what does this mean then -

Not one stone of Jerusalem can be surrendered or relinquished. The measures undertaken by the occupiers in Jerusalem, such as Judaization, settlement building, and establishing facts on the ground are fundamentally null and void."

In short, they renounce Israel's legitimacy, then say "but there's a national consensus for a 2 state solution, so we'll support that".

To be clear, I don't trust Hamas that they'd accept the 1967 borders and call it a day, but that is what they are saying in their official policy (as most recently given in 2017).

The point is only that the new statement does not contain new demands, just a rehash of their usual.
