“We are going to recognise Palestine for many reasons and we can sum that up in three words – peace, justice and consistency,” he said.

 

“We have to make sure that the two-state solution is respected and there must be mutual guarantees of security.”

 

He adds: “It is essential that the two sides negotiate for peace and it is for this reason that we recognise Palestine.”
