Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces that the UK now formally recognises a Palestinian state
"Today, to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution, I state clearly - as prime minister of this great country - that the United Kingdom formally recognises the state of Palestine," he says in a video statement Earlier, Canada became the first G7 nation to make the move, closely following by Australia
Starmer's deputy, David Lammy, earlier defended the move - telling the BBC "now is the time to stand up for a two-state solution"
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has previously opposed countries recognising Palestinian statehood, saying it "rewards Hamas terror" and "hardens" the group's "refusal to free hostages"
Families of those still being held in Gaza have also expressed concern - in an open letter to Starmer, they say recognition "complicates efforts to bring home our loved ones"
Meanwhile, Israel's ground offensive on Gaza City continues - earlier, the IDF said it had intercepted two projectiles fired from the north of the Strip

Congratulations, Keir, on formally recognizing North Sea Palestine.
“The Balfour Declaration, issued on November 2, 1917, was a pivotal statement by the British government expressing support for a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine.”
“The declaration symbolized a turning point for the Zionist movement, as it provided official recognition from a major world power, bolstering the legitimacy of Jewish claims to the land.”
We need to invade western Canada and save the remaining conservatives there.
So, chopping up and burning those babies alive on Oct 7 worked huh?
Trump is right to bully those cowards
Pathetic hypocrites... They could've used this as a bargaining chip to get the living and mostly dead hostages released. But Keir had to appease his left wing in an effort to maintain his leadership of the Labour party. He p*ssed off a lot of them after forcing his left of center Deputy Prime Minister and parttime Tavern Wench, Angela Rayner, to resign.
ha ha!
such insane evil in government only breeds contempt from the subjects/citizenry
(it will have zero impact on the middle east since their much-loved terrorist state of Fakestine doesn’t exist and never will be permitted anywhere near the region)
Any sane person would know that a two state “solution” can’t work and will lead to more destruction.
Jordan finally had to attack and drive them out (after being attacked many times) , after which they went to Lebanon and promptly destroyed it.
I am formally recognizing Scotland as a Free State, today, coincidentally.
Idiots, that’s great reward the terrorists. All this does is encourage more mayhem but deluded fools like Starmer may actually believe it will placate the vermin.
Three wacko governments but not the citizens of these countries
Okay, show me Palestine on a map...
What are the boundaries of this Palestinian state? Who is its president/chief executive?
The next step in the coming days will be an Israeli announcement of sovereignty over the West Bank t.me 1h
Starmer just spit right into the eye of the people of England... The Uk is to become a muslim holding whether the folks of that once great nation like it or not.
Canada will be next...
Those happen tomorrow and Tuesday.
