So far, we have de facto given Israel a veto in this matter, since we have said that a Danish recognition of Palestine will come when there is a negotiated two-state solution, he says according to Danish Radio.

The message comes ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York this week. Løkke Rasmussen is in the city.

That's why we want to move our position now, so it doesn't lie in the hands of Israel, but in fact in the hands of the Palestinian population to make decisions and do the things required for Denmark to recognize Palestine.

Something we hope to be able to do.
