We urge the UK not to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state before a negotiated peace. We believe the UK should support direct talks, conditioned on Hamas releasing hostages, disarming, & leaving Gaza; & the PA ending ‘Pay to Slay’, removing extremist content from schools, & recognising Israel.

UK to refuse to recognise Palestine. UK to supply Israel with military support
We believe recognition of Palestine is contrary to The Montevideo Convention on the duty and rights of States....recognition we believe contravenes the convention and international law. We believe recognition will reward terrorists now and in the future.
Hold a referendum on recognition of a Palestinian State
The UK recognition of a Palestinian State should be subject to a referendum of the people of the UK.
Only recognise a Palestinian state if Israel joins NATO/with defence guarantees
We call upon His Majesty’s Government to make any UK recognition of a Palestinian state conditional on either: Israel’s accession to NATO, or the establishment of NATO-level mutual defence guarantees involving the UK and/or NATO partners.
Rescind recognition of a Palestinian state and respect the Montevideo Convention
The UK should rescind its recognition of a Palestinian state, which we believe does not meet the criteria of the Montevideo Convention. We believe recognition rewards terrorism, undermines peace, and falls short of longstanding international norms.
