Plan to recognise Palestinian state a big change for British foreign policy

The BBC’s International editor, Jeremy Bowen, described the UK’s plans to recognise a Palestinian state as a “big change for British foreign policy”.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the UK will recognise a Palestinian state at a UN meeting in September unless Israel takes “substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza”.

Speaking from Jerusalem, Bowen warned that it is “vanishingly unlikely” that Israel will meet all the conditions, which include a ceasefire and a commitment to a long-term peace process.
