Nothing is preventing the recognition of a Palestinian state but the will to do so. Most countries in the world already do.
Legal scholar :
‘The Netanyahu Government is no partner for peace. It aims to extinguish any possibility of an independent Palestine as its ever-expanding colonial settlements and annihilation of Gaza attest.
Indeed, Israel has never offered Palestinians a peace deal that respects their international legal rights. The UK is naive if it believes that threatening recognition will return Israel to the bargaining table. Israel’s current war of vengeance has proved it to be a grave threat to the very survival of Palestinians, as well as endangering Israeli hostages.
Non-recognition, and denial of statehood, rewards Israeli occupation and international crimes. It also fails to address the root causes of Hamas’ terrorism. Hamas was born to resist the occupation … terrorism can only be defeated if we address the state violations of human rights that fuel grievances and violence.
Just as alleged Hamas war criminals must not be in a Palestinian Government, Israeli alleged war criminals, including the Israeli prime minister, must be excluded from the Israeli Government. Just as Palestinian armed groups must not be allowed to threaten Israel’s future security, Israel must not threaten Palestine’s security. It is, after all, Israel that has violently occupied Palestine for almost 60 years, not vice versa. Demilitarisation of a Palestinian state would be welcome if Israel did the same.
A Palestinian state cannot cure the historical injustices of Israel’s foundation, with Israel taking 78% of the British Mandate of Palestine despite Jews being the minority, and the mass expulsion of refugees and theft of Palestinian property. But it is a vital step towards remedying the past, stopping extermination in the present and ensuring equality and peace in the future.’
