The United Kingdom will formally recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel implements a ceasefire and addresses the “intolerable” situation on the ground in Gaza, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced.
Starmer said the U.K. will make the declaration at the United Nations General Assembly in September, unless Israel takes “substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire, and commit to a sustainable, long-term peace that revives the prospect of a two-state solution.”
