If the UK recognises Palestine, so will others

The recent Israeli government announcement that it is expropriating another 1,000 acres of West Bank land has only reinforced in the minds of many that the Israel-Palestine conflict is stuck in an impasse. Yet it is at such bleak times as these that leaders need to find new ways to move forward. That is why I believe the time is right for the United Kingdom to recognise the State of Palestine. While the turmoil in Syria and Iraq may overshadow the Palestine issue, it is wrong to neglect it.
