U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is considering the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state after the Hamas-Israel war, a significant shift from past U.S. policy.
This move signals a change in the Biden administration’s approach to Palestinian statehood, traditionally achieved through direct negotiations.
The leaked information from the State Department comes ahead of Blinken’s fifth visit to Israel since the war began.
While Blinken has expressed sympathy for Israel, he has been pushing for a Palestinian state, a stance that has faced opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
