U.K. Could Recognize Palestinian Statehood in September

Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that he would recognize the state of Palestine in September if Israel does not agree to a cease-fire with Hamas.

Our goal remains a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state. So today, as part of this process towards peace, I can confirm the U.K. will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a cease-fire and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. We see starving babies, children too weak to stand. Images that will stay with us for a lifetime. The suffering must end.
