British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that U.K. recognition of an independent state of Palestine, including in the United Nations, "can't come at the start of the process, but it doesn't have to be the very end of the process."

Britain’s top diplomat said Thursday that his country could officially recognize a Palestinian state after a cease-fire in Gaza without waiting for the outcome of what could be years-long talks between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.

Foreign Secretary David Cameron, speaking to The Associated Press during a visit Thursday to Lebanon intended to tamp down regional tensions, said no recognition could come while Hamas remained in Gaza, but that it could take place while Israeli negotiations with Palestinian leaders were continuing.

U.K. recognition of an independent state of Palestine, including in the United Nations, “can’t come at the start of the process, but it doesn’t have to be the very end of the process,” said Cameron, a former British prime minister.

          Well that’s going to be citation needed because there’s never been any evidence that this was true.

          Why make things up? The guys enough of a twat as it is without making things up

            You understand the fact that anyone putting it o to paper or public speech would have to prove that they knew? Noone was gonna put their head above the parapets. It’s like you’re basic and fail to understand the nuance involved in politics.

              Lack of evidence is not evidence that it happened. Since there are also wouldn’t be any evidence if it hadn’t happened.

              Stop talking about a story that is probably not true, that there is absolutely no evidence for, and has nothing to do with politics anyway. Instead criticize him for the things that he definitely has done that are terrible.
