The UK views the Palestinian Authority (PA) as the legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people. We are supportive of Fatah-Hamas reconciliation attempts, and of the PA returning to resume government functions in Gaza. The UK will continue to urge the parties to prioritise progress towards reaching a durable solution and to take the necessary practical steps towards a two-state solution.
