Germany says it has no current plans to recognize Palestinian state

Germany is not planning to recognize a Palestinian state in the short term and says its priority now is to make “long-overdue progress” towards a two-state solution, a German government spokesperson says.

“Israel’s security is of paramount importance to the German government,” says the spokesperson. “The German government therefore has no plans to recognize a Palestinian state in the short term.”
