Saudi television station Asharq reports that France, Britain and Canada have set preconditions for the Palestinian Authority and Hamas for the recognition of a Palestinian state.

The outlet says these include significant political reforms in the PA and the demilitarization of Gaza.

Citing Western and regional sources, it says the nations are demanding in the West Bank the renewal of a functioning parliament, free and fair elections, and the commitment to a peaceful transfer of power. In Gaza, they say Hamas must hand over rule to an elected Palestinian government and undergo demilitarization.
