Britain is ready to bring forward the moment when it formally recognises a Palestinian state, the foreign secretary has suggested, reports BBC.
Cameron said Palestinians had to be given a political horizon to encourage peace in the Middle East.
He is beginning his fourth visit to the region since being appointed foreign secretary in November.
The UK has a responsibility to set out what a Palestinian state would look like, he told a Westminster reception.
The Palestinian people would have to be shown "irreversible progress" towards a two-state solution, Lord Cameron said.
"As that happens, we - with allies - will look at the issue of recognising a Palestinian state, including at the United Nations," he told the Conservative Middle East Council.
"That could be one of the things that helps to make this process irreversible."
The foreign secretary also urged Israel to allow more humanitarian support into Gaza and said it was "ludicrous" that vital British and other aid was being sent back at the border.
Cameron said the last 30 years had been a story of failure for Israel because it had failed to provide security to its citizens.
Only by recognising that failure, he said, would there be peace and progress.
Britain has long supported a two-state solution, where Israelis and Palestinians could live side by side in separate countries.
