Wider global recognition of Palestine is within sight - but it's unclear how much weight that will carry.
The UK and France plan to join many national already recognising Palestinian statehood in September, unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire.
Our Government has joined others supporting a two-state solution and is open to recognising Palestine - in time.
