The proposal was passed with 339 votes in favor and 151 against.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has supported the vote, setting a two-year deadline for the creation of an independent Palestine. He said that if no resolution had been found by then, France would officially recognize Palestine anyway.”
Recognition by Britain
“A two state solution (Israel and Palestine) is what the future holds. We wish to get there as soon as possible.”
“MPs have voted in favour of recognising Palestine as a state alongside Israel.”
“Spanish lawmakers on Tuesday urged their government to recognise Palestine as a state.
The text that was adopted said: “The parliament urges the government to recognise Palestine as a state … This recognition should be the consequence of a process negotiated between the parties that guarantees peace and security for both, the respect of the rights of the citizens and regional stability.”
Foreign minister José Manuel García-Margallo said the government was now committed to working in favour of a dialogue between the two parties that brought “peace, stability and progress to a region that has been suffering for a long time”.
He also called on the European Union to have a coordinated approach on the issue.”

Notes on Foreign policy
Consider both
If it’s non-zero sum, you can make them work with you so that it’s beneficial to both.

There are talks going on at the moment organized by UN for transition of power to a transitional government.
The Syrian regime has no intentions for handing over power. We have observed support for Bashar Al-Assad’s government from both Iran and Russia.
More than 110,000 people have lost their lives. What is the point of adding more to that?
Syrian land has become a fertile ground for growth of opposing groups of militants and extremists.
Our carefree attitude might make us pay price in the longer term.
Democracy has to be restored. People should be given the right to choose their own leaders and representatives and it’s the responsibility of leaders to win people’s hearts.
United States can propose for a caretaker government to hold a free and fair election and hand over power to the winning political party.
In Bangladesh, we have experience of Interim Neutral Caretaker Government successfully holding free and fair elections in the years 1996, 2001 and 2008. An advisory council led by the last retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court rules the country for three months and holds elections before an elected government takes over power in Bangladesh.

Iran and Russia can make sure the Syrian regime accepts the proposal.
The proposed Model was adopted by Hamas and Fatah to form an Interim Government for West Bank and Gaza Region in 2014 and led to a historic union between Hamas and Fatah.
Because of power conflict and interest in regional dominance, both sides are encouraging groups of opposing militants and extremists.
But does “Islam”, a word derived from “Salam”, which literally means “peace”, really encourage or even approve such conflicts?
Suicide and collateral damage are forbidden in Islam and the person who commits suicide is destined to go to hell.
Prophet Muhammad declared unity of humanity in his last sermon, “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action.” [1]
In the age of globalization, it’s the mutual economic relationship and mutual economic engagement, not military engagement, that brings prosperity.
