Germany says it will not recognize Palestinian state for now
The German government announced that it currently has no plans to recognize a Palestinian state, setting itself apart from some of its European partners who have recently expressed willingness to take that step.
A spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry told reporters that Berlin views recognition of a Palestinian state as part of a broader peace agreement within the framework of a two-state solution, adding, “This position has not changed.”

The spokesperson emphasized Germany’s commitment to supporting a two-state solution as the only path to achieving lasting peace between Palestinians and 'Israelis', and warned that “unilateral recognition steps may be unhelpful given the complexity of the current situation.”
Germany’s stance comes amid growing international pressure to end the ongoing 'Israeli' aggression on Gaza, as well as mounting calls within Europe to recognize the State of Palestine as a move toward justice and peace in the region.
