Starmer sets deadline for recognising Palestine - unless Israel meets four conditions | Politics Hub

Join Sophy Ridge for a fast-paced daily dissection of what’s happening in Westminster, bringing together Sky News’ innovative and energetic coverage with her expert political team, including Beth Rigby and Sam Coates, for a one-hour show, weeknights at 7pm.

Tonight, Sir Keir Starmer has announced the UK will recognise Palestine as a state by a United Nations meeting in September, unless Israel agrees to end the "appalling situation in Gaza".

The prime minister said while air drops of aid have started today, he wants to see at least 500 trucks of aid per day to enter Gaza.

Starmer says the time to recognise Palestine is now as it will have the highest impact, as the hope of a two-state solution - a "secure" Israel alongside a "viable" Palestinian state - is at risk.
