    Very little.

    Notice that they haven’t actually stated for what is the territory of Palestine, even indirectly by saying it is what was defined in past accords.

    Now Israel is possibly an invader on the territory of the sovereign nation of Palestine - only possibly because it depends on what is considered the territory of the nation of Palestine, which this doesn’t at all define directly of indirectly - this has created with a massive hole to allow claiming that Israel isn’t in fact invading Palestine or at least that it’s not clear, because Israel can just say that were they are is not the territory of Palestine whilst Palestinians say it is, and legally it hasn’t been clarified who is right.

    Now, ask yourself: are these people so incredibly incompetent in the field of diplomacy and international law that they didn’t spot this, or is it a case that they designed this “recognition” to be exactly as it is - of the existence of a state without defining its territory, thus with massive holes - on purpose?

    Even if Israel was deemed to be “invading Palestine”, as far as I know in International Law, “invading a sovereign nation” isn’t actual as bad an act as “committing Genocide” and Israel has already been deemed as commiting a Genocide by a number of entities, including the UN and is currently breaking the ICCs order to stop certain activities (though I believe the court hasn’t yet rulled on their actions amounting to a Genocide or not, but they had issue orders for Israel to stop certain activities).

    Now, if Israel isn’t being made by the nations that have now “recognized the state of Palestine” to suffer consequences (for example, sanctions) for the greater crime of “commiting Genocide”, how likely it is that these very same nations that refuse to punish Israel for that will now punish Israel for the lesser crime of “invasion of a foreign nation”

    Again: remember, this is if they actually recognize Israel’s actions as an invasion, and without an accepted definition of what exactly is the territory of the nation of Palestine, they can claim that there is no invasion or (more likely, IMHO) that “it’s not clear”.

    To me this just looks like performative smoke & mirrors from politicians who support Israel whilst the public opinion on their nations is heavilly against Israel and their actions, hence why it makes sense that a nation like Britain which is currently doing surveillance flights over Gaza and giving the data to Israel, as well as arresting old ladies as Terrorism Supporters for demonstrating against the Genocide, woud be part of this - it’s de facto an action which doesn’t hurt Israel whilst being spinned to the British Public Opinion - that demands that “something must be done about Israel” (there was already a demonstration with 500,000 people about it) - as “something is being done”.
