Recognition “can't come at the beginning of the process, but it doesn't necessarily have to be right at the end of the process,” former prime minister Cameron said during a visit to Lebanon on Thursday.
“It's this process, this progress toward a solution, that we might consider becoming more concrete,” Cameron said. “What we need to do is give the Palestinian people a chance for a better future, a future where they have a state of their own.”
However, he added that no recognition would happen while Hamas is in the Gaza Strip, but could happen while Israeli negotiations with Palestinian leaders continue.
