Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday Britain will recognise the state of Palestine in September unless Israel takes “substantive steps” in Gaza, including agreeing to a ceasefire.
“I have always said that we will recognise a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process at the moment of maximum impact for the two state solution,” Starmer said.
“With that solution now under threat, this is the moment to act,” he added.
