Promising two different groups the same piece of land and then deciding you’ll actually keep it for yourself isn’t exactly a great diplomatic move.
Britain promised a Jewish state, and didn’t create one.
Britain made extensive promises in order to get the Arab revolt, promises which had token fulfilment.
What Britain did do was split and with the French. Everyone but Britain and France got screwed over by what Britain did.
>‘will recognise the state of Palestine by the time the United Nations General Assembly gathers in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire, and commit to a long-term, sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a Two-State Solution’.
And all Hamas needs to do is keep fighting long enough until Israel is either forced to stop fighting while Hamas and other armed groups continue to fight, or it becomes even further isolated. Hamas‘ tactics worked. They know they will never face the same expectations that are currently being applied to Israel. If they were, unilateral recognition prior to a negotiated peace would be off the table.
And it won’t even work. Hamas will make the UK’s demands untenable, Israel will keep on fighting, and no-one but Hamas will get a win.
