The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, is expected to announce on Sunday the recognition of the Palestinian state by the United Kingdom, against the backdrop of the deteriorating situation in Gaza and international pressures.

Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister, will announce the recognition of the Palestinian state, a significant change in the United Kingdom's foreign policy, after Israel has not met the conditions for a ceasefire in Gaza. This decision has sparked criticism from Israel and British conservatives, who believe that recognition would reward terrorism. In the context of the violence in Gaza and the expansion of Israeli settlements, British officials emphasize the moral responsibility to act for peace. The recognition of the Palestinian state is seen as a symbolic step, considering that Palestine is already recognized by 75% of UN member states.
