“Israel’s security is of paramount importance to the German government,“ said the spokesperson. “The German government therefore has no plans to recognise a Palestinian state in the short term.”
Germany’s stance on Israel is strongly influenced by what it regards as a special responsibility to atone for the Nazi Holocaust against European Jews in which six million were killed during Hitler’s 1933-45 regime.
Britain’s immediate priority is alleviating suffering in Gaza and securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a cabinet minister said on Friday, even as Starmer came under growing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state.
“A Palestinian state that does not recognise Israel means that the problem will not be resolved,“ Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told a meeting of his conservative Forza Italia party.

“President Abbas urged all countries, especially European nations that have not yet recognised the State of Palestine, to do so based on the internationally endorsed two-state solution,“ it cited Abbas as saying.
Palestinians have long sought to create an independent state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem - lands Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war - through a mediated peace process.
Israel rejects this.
But Hamas and other Palestinian Islamist militants who dominate Gaza and frequently clash with Israeli forces in the West Bank refuse to recognise Israel.
Hamas’ 1988 founding charter called for the destruction of Israel, although Hamas leaders have at times offered a long-term truce with Israel in return for a viable Palestinian state on all Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in the 1967 war. Israel regards this as a ruse. - Reuters
