British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced that the United Kingdom will recognize the Palestinian state in September before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
But according to foreign media, the British Prime Minister has also listed several conditions for this to happen.
According to a written note from a cabinet meeting he held earlier, Starmer said this would happen "unless the Israeli government takes substantial steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, achieves a ceasefire, makes it clear that there will be no annexation in the West Bank and commits to a long-term peace process that offers a two-state solution."
He also reiterated that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas and that the UK's demands on Hamas remain - that they must release all hostages, sign a ceasefire, agree to play no role in the Gaza government and disarm, writes A2 CNN.
Starmer pledged to make an assessment before the UN General Assembly of how far the parties have fulfilled these steps before making a final decision, ensuring that neither party has a veto right, the statement said. (A2 Televizion)
