'Israel' rejects 'one-sided' recognition of Palestinian state

'Israel's' foreign ministry said Sunday it rejected what it called the "one-sided" recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Canada and Australia, claiming that the move could further destabilise the region.

"Israel categorically rejects the one-sided declaration of the recognition of a Palestinian state made by the United Kingdom and some other countries...This declaration does not promote peace, but on the contrary further destabilises the region and undermines the chances of achieving a peaceful solution in the future," the ministry said in a statement.
