Why Starmer decided the time was right to recognise a Palestinian state

The UK government’s recognition aims to revive the two-state solution amid worsening Gaza crisis and settlement expansions, despite opposition from the US and concerns from hostage families.

  • British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will announce the UK's recognition of a Palestinian state on Sunday, marking a significant shift in British foreign policy.
  • Starmer will also unveil new sanctions on Hamas, presenting a two-pronged approach in response to the situation in Gaza.
  • The recognition decision comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions described as 'intolerable' by Starmer.
  • Critics warn this move could embolden Hamas and strain relations with Israel.
