Shouldn't it already be recognised?

Yes. But politics.

I don't know whether this is real or Cameron going off half-cocked again. I can't see this government (or the next) doing any such thing (sad to say). Although it is pretty obvious that Cameron's plan does not include allowing the Palestinians to elect their own government. Installing some technocratic version of the PA without any real independent statehood is not going to cut it.

Pretty sure this is just words. To what purpose is unclear.

Going nothing to everything has clearly failed is his point. Stepping stones, stepping stones.

Imagine if Corbyn said this.
