The United Kingdom does not recognise Palestine as a state.[1] The UK has a non-accredited Consulate General in Jerusalem that "represents the UK government in Jerusalem, West Bank, and Gaza", and works on "political, commercial, security and economic interests between the UK and the Palestinian territories".[2] Husam Zomlot became head of the Palestine Mission to the United Kingdom in 2018.[3][4] The State of Palestine was represented in London by Manuel Hassassian,[5] the Palestinian General Delegate to the United Kingdom between 2005 and 2018. Another former Palestinian General Delegate to the UK was Afif Safieh, who began in that role in 1990.[citation needed]
