Germany currently sees no conditions for recognition of a Palestinian state, says Merz at a press conference, writes German media.
What has happened in recent days does not change our position, he says.
Neither is Denmark currently ready to recognize a Palestinian state. But Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen does not say a flat no, reports DR.
We are for (a recognition). We have been that for quite some time. But we must of course be sure that it will be a democratic state, she says during a media day for the Danish Social Democrats.
In late July, a group of Western countries announced that they intend to recognize the state of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September. Among them are France, Finland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said at the same time that the process towards recognition of a Palestinian state "must begin now".
