The impression I get from this wave of recent announcements about Israel including of people like the British Government and Macron (both of which keep shipping weapons to Israel, and the former even has the police arresting anti-Genocide protesters) of "we will recognize Palestine as a nation if you don't stop" is that a bunch of politicians in Western nations are activelly executing a delay strategy to avoid that under pressure from public opinion all over the World (including their own countries) Israel is the target of actual sanctions.
The whole thing reeks of the "thrown it into the long grass until it blows over" kind of political strategy for not doing what the public wanted that was incredibly common in British politics when I lived there.

Spain suspended arms sales to Israel in 2023. What France, UK, Canada and others are doing now is embarrassingly little and shockingly late. Really, at this point they are basically saying "we're fine with genocide but could you please hide at a little bit better so it's easier for us to pretend we don't see anything".
