      The formal recognition is only possible during a UN general assembly, which next happens in September. That’s why world leaders keep stating their intention to recognize Palestine in September, at the next session of the UNGA.

        Apologies, I should read the article before commenting. I see he hasn’t paired it with condemnation and boycott of Israel which is a little disappointing.

          Yeah, formal recognition is just a baby step. Only the bare minimum for acknowledging Palestine as a state. I’ll be surprised if anything other than this happens. Maybe we’ll get a stern rebuke or a tut-tut soon.
