I don't think there is any irony in it. These 'recognitions' (remember only Sweden officially recognized Palestine so far) are happening because the likelihood of a two-state solution decreased.
Actors who are committed to it are using the leverage they have to increase this likelihood again.

Tomorrow Jordan will submit a resolution at the UN in favor of a two-state solution. France will submit a more nuanced resolution with the same objective shortly after. These will be good opportunities to see where everyone stands.

I read somewhere some Arab scholar (don't remember from which country) saying that Palestine would be better organized at the UAE, an association of several 'emirates'.
