In a statement released earlier today, Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged the UK’s recognition of the Palestinian state. The Prime Minister stated that this action represents a “vital step towards peace” and “revives the hope of a future for all involved.” However, Israel has responded with condemnation, describing the move as a “reward for jihadist Hamas” and asserting that it does not constitute a genuine recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state. The UK government’s position remains firmly opposed to the move, and diplomatic efforts are ongoing to address the differing perspectives.
