British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September, unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza and takes steps to long-term peace.

Donald Trump's administration said he expressed his "displeasure" with the leaders of the UK, France and Canada over their pledges to recognise a Palestinian state

A British-Israeli woman who was held hostage by Hamas for more than a year has said Sir Keir Starmer is “not standing on the right side of history” after his pledge to recognise a Palestinian state.
