The British parliament is debating a measure that would officially recognize Palestine as a state. It's a non-binding measure, but the spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron said he would abstain from the vote. Israel is condemning the measure saying a Palestinian state can only come through negotiation.

Meanwhile, Sweden has already decided it will go ahead and recognize Palestine as a state. Swedish FM Margot Wallström spoke to Becky about why she thinks the decision will boost the chances of a two state solution.
