UK Labour Party leader Starmer wants to recognize Palestinian state as part of peace process — Reuters

Britain's opposition leader Keir Starmer said on Friday he wanted to recognize a Palestinian state if he won power in an upcoming general election, but conditional on a peace process.

Starmer can’t afford to lose the money from the Labour Friends of Israel, but also can’t afford to haemorrhaging votes to the Greens, Workers’ Party, and various independents.

As usual, he takes the middle way that leads nowhere.

Germany currently has no plans to recognize Palestine as a state, since a token recognition would lead nowhere, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said.

"I think we have no reason to recognize the Palestinian Authority as an independent state at the moment. There is no clarity about its national territory or any other aspects," Scholz said at a joint press briefing with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.

What is needed is a "negotiated solution between Israel and the Palestinians that would amount to a two-state solution," the German leader added.

"It is about a Palestinian administration that would control both the West bank and the Gaza Strip, but we are still far from that. All we need to do now is achieve a lasting ceasefire. It is also a matter of getting all parties involved to commit to the two-state solution," Scholz also said, adding that he believed a token recognition of Palestine would lead nowhere.

Invariably, Germany sides with genocide – theirs or anyone else’s.
