The Sydney Morning Herald reported today that Britain is preparing to confer diplomatic status on the Palestinian delegation in London for the first time.
The article reports:
"The Foreign Office confirmed it was studying a proposal that would see Palestinian ''general delegations'' upgraded to ''diplomatic missions'' in a number of European capitals."
The article further reports:
"Meanwhile, the Palestinian leadership has stepped up its efforts to win European recognition for a state on land occupied by Israel in 1967.
"The Foreign Office said the upgrade did not ''imply recognition of a Palestinian state''."
The recognition of a Palestinian State without that Palestinian State acknowledging the right of Israel to exist is not a good thing. All that has happened is that a group of people dedicated to wiping out the state of Israel have been made legitimate on the world stage. That is not a recipe for peace.
