In a magical special Universe where nothing else at all was happenning, recognizing the existence of the state of Palestine is always a good thing.

In the actual world were are in, with what's going on right now, for some countries (were there is a large public pressure to actually stop Israel and which are still activelly arming Israel) politicians recognizing the existence of the state of Palestine is possibly a bad thing because of how it interacts with other things to de facto yield worse outcomes for Palestinians than if they had not done it.

Interpreting the merits of a choice in a context were there is nothing else whatsoever that interacts with it - call it "laboratory conditions" - is pure Philosophy and akin to claim that "we all live in a perfect simulation but are not aware of it": a fun mental game that has no actual effect in Reality as we perceive it.
