Bowen: Plan to recognise Palestinian state a big change for British foreign policy
The BBC’s International editor, Jeremy Bowen, described the UK’s plans to recognise a Palestinian state as a “big change for British foreign policy”.

Speaking from Jerusalem, Bowen warned that it is “vanishingly unlikely” that Israel will meet all the conditions, which include a ceasefire and a commitment to a long-term peace process.
