Although Denmark was among the 138 countries that voted in favour of a Palestinian UN upgrade, it has made it clear that its vote does not mean it recognises a Palestinian state.
“The resolution adopted today… is a natural continuation of our firm support for a two-state solution and Palestinian state building. Our vote, however, does not entail a formal bilateral recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state. This is a separate question, which we will continue to consider within the framework set out by international law,” Denmark’s UN Ambassador Carsten Staur said in an Explanation of Vote to the UN General Assembly.
