The US State Department is considering recognizing a Palestinian state as part of an initiative for the day after the war in Gaza. The move indicates a significant change of thinking on the part of the US.
For decades, the policy of the United States has been to oppose the recognition of Palestine as a state - both bilaterally and in the UN institutions. The White House: No change in policy regarding the unilateral recognition or through UN institutions has not changed. The examination of the issue is now being carried out to suggest ways in which the two-state solution can be implemented.
