Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for being here today for this extremely important study.

I would like to first put the question to Mr. Kersten. With respect to the recognition of the state and recognizing a government, can you speak to how the two are different?

Many will say that to recognize the state of Palestine is to reward a group. Is that the case? Can you please elaborate on how the recognition of the state of Palestine is different from the recognition of a government?
