Diplomatic status
Recognising a Palestinian state would allow the status of diplomatic missions to be upgraded.
Currently, the Palestinian Authority delegation to the UK is not of embassy level and operates as a “diplomatic mission” based in Hammersmith, West London.
mbassy status would give the delegations protection and privileges under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
The FCDO said the
Foreign Secretary will write to her Palestinian counterpart in “due course to lay out the process for establishing full diplomatic relations”.
