Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s announcement that the UK will recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel ends the crisis in Gaza dominates Wednesday’s papers. The Guardian leads with the PM’s September deadline for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to commit to a ceasefire and “accept a two-state solution”. The paper says the PM’s decision comes as a result of the “increasingly intolerable” situation in Gaza and “now was the right time to finally move”.

The headline on the front page of the Guardian reads: "UK to recognise state of Palestine unless Israel commits to ceasefire". — Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s announcement that the UK will recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel ends the crisis in Gaza dominates Wednesday’s papers. The Guardian leads with the PM’s September deadline for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to commit to a ceasefire and “accept a two-state solution”. The paper says the PM’s decision comes as a result of the “increasingly intolerable” situation in Gaza and “now was the right time to finally move”.

The Daily Telegraph follows with reaction from the US and Israel on Sir Keir’s plan to recognise a Palestinian state. The paper says a US state department spokesperson is calling the PM’s decision a “slap in the face” for victims of the 7 October attack on Israel. The paper also quotes Netanyahu saying Sir Keir’s announcement “rewards Hamas’s monstrous terrorism”.

The PM’s “reward for Hamas” is echoed in the Daily Mail, with the paper saying the move is a “major diplomatic shift” for the UK. It also teases an exclusive on the “mystery” of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ summer holiday on an “enchanting Greek Island”.

“Israel blasts Starmer” is the Times’ take. The paper quotes Netanyahu saying the PM’s ultimatum is “appeasement towards jihadist terrorists” and will “always fail”. Sharing the top spot is the Lionesses’ “royal welcome” during their victory parade in London on Tuesday. The paper spotlights a photograph of thousands of football fans celebrating the England team as they took the stage in a special ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace.
