The United Kingdom will consider the possibility of Palestinian statehood, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said at a Westminster reception Monday.

“We have a responsibility there because we should be starting to set out what a Palestinian state would look like, what it would comprise, how it would work,” he said. “As that happens, we, with allies, will look at the issue of recognizing a Palestinian state, including at the United Nations. This could be one of the things that helps to make this process irreversible.”
