One of the things that could potentially be positive that comes from this is giving more support to the Palestinian Authority.
This is because, arguably, one of the problems that the Palestinian Authority has had is that the support that it has received from the west has been more of a kiss of death, because it's been seen as less than legitimate. If that recognition comes, it can potentially also produce some kind of result for the Palestinian Authority to say that yes, it is supported by the west, but that this doesn't mean that it's a puppet of the west. We are actually also advancing the cause of Palestinian independence.
