UK to recognise Palestine by September except Israel agrees to ceasefire | Sky News protection

Sir Keir Starmer has introduced the UK will recognise Palestine as a state by the United Nations assembly in September, except Israel agrees to a ceasefire.

The prime minister stated support air drops have began at this time, though the PM says he desires to see no less than 500 vehicles of support per day to enter Gaza.

Starmer says the time to recognise Palestine is now as it’s going to have the very best affect.

In a readout from at this time’s cupboard, a Downing Street spokesperson stated: "[The PM] stated that due to the more and more insupportable scenario in Gaza and the diminishing prospect of a peace course of in direction of a two state answer, now was the appropriate time to maneuver this place ahead.

"He said that the UK will recognise the state of Palestine in September, before UNGA, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a two state Solution."
