The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) yesterday called for the UK to develop its position regarding the recognition of the Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, Quds Net reported

The DFLP noted that 139 UN member states recognise the state of Palestine on the 1967 borders, adding that the UK’s opposition to the Israel’s annexation of Syrian and Palestinian lands is an “advanced step”.

However, it stressed that this step remains “incomplete” as long as the UK does not recognise all the international resolutions related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including those which recognised the Palestinian state and the right to return.

The DFLP said that the UK’s recognition of the national rights of the Palestinian people, as they were recognised by the international community, “is a very small part of its duty as it bears the historic, political, legal and ethical responsibility for the Nakba.”
