I think this is at least a good step 1, albeit insanely late, but it needs to be followed with sustained action and reparations. If they use this as a marketing tool like the pessimist in me is expecting, then it’s meaningless bullshit. No amount of recognition will wash the blood off of their hands.
You’re making the positive assumption that the intentions behind thisare to start improving the situation of the Palestinians.
Another just a likely (maybe even more likely, given that all these countries still send weapons to Israel) possibility is that this is the lowest impact thing that they could do that woulf lessen the massive pressure of the Public Opinion in those countries to Stop Israel, thus delaying them having to enact effective measures. In other words, it’s a delaying action so that Israel can exterminate more of the Palestinian population and steal more of their land before they actually have to stop.
Doing something pretty much purely performative to delay effective actions to stop Israel is actually a bad thing rather than a good thing.

Nothing will wash the blood off. The goal is to not get more on to them.
We need sanctions against Israel like yesterday. Their fascist government won’t budge until there is real financial pressure.
