UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state after US President Donald Trump completes his state visit to the United Kingdom, The Times reports.
The unsourced report says that Starmer plans to recognize Palestine even before several countries, led by France, will do so at the United Nations summit in New York next week amid concern over the ongoing war in Gaza.
The Times says that Starmer is under massive pressure from within his Labour party to make the move, but will hold off on doing so until Trump leaves so that the issue doesn’t dominate a joint press conference planned for Thursday.
The US is deeply opposed to the move, saying it would be a reward for the Hamas terror group in the wake of the October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people and saw another 251 taken hostage.

Big mistake.
That’s fine. Go for it. Now we can officially certify the Palestinian “state”, as a terrorist state, and one totally washed in NAZI hatred for the Jews. Then proceed to do to this state what the allies did to NAZI Germany.
Dumbassery!
Not until the evil muslims release the Israeli hostages! Or never recognize a Palestine state unless it is devoid of muslims! Trump should threaten Starmer with massive pressure against recognition without release of hostages.
The UK can’t get rid of this moron fast enough.
If they do, pull our ambassador and cut all trade with them.
He can rub it and cherish it forever!
I think USA needs to recall our ambassador from Uk and apply higher tariffs until the good British people can get a decent, moral government. (If that latter isn’t a contradiction of terms, ha! At least a less perfidious government that isn’t selling Uk and the west out to the Islamic invasion).
I'll raise tariffs. Because we are no longer sharing the same values with the UK.
So might as well as raise them to 50% if they want to sell their products in the U.S.
Israel should also withhold all intelligence from MI6, effective the moment Keir recognizes a Pali terror state.
Idiotic jackass, they had their own state—Gaza! What did they do with it? The phony “Palestinians” used it to try and destroy Israel. The problem is the phony religion of Islam and their pedophile, murderous, thief and liar—Mohammed. Nothing will change as long as the brain dead west will not acknowledge this.
He seems locked into losing and losing big.
Quid pro quo? Is Starmer gaining some material benefit for offering such feeble resistance to the building Muslim influence?
I did Nazi that coming
So why can’t the territory of Palestine that Israel gave them be made the State of Palestine? Wouldn’t that solve the two state solution problem?
Probably announced it after POTUS Trump talk about the bond. Maybe POTUS let’s him know we tight, just not that tight.
I thought the UK already recognized Jordan...
Because the world needs another official terrorist state.
Israel itself is smaller than Maryland or Vermont. Four Israels could fit inside South Carolina. The whole West Bank is a quarter the size of Israel, and the PA only controls part of it. (See West Bank Area A.)
