Bowen: UK move is a diplomatic crowbar to revive peace process

Keir Starmer's announcement that the UK will recognize Palestinian statehood is a significant shift in foreign policy aiming to revive the peace process. Despite Israel's immediate rejection, British officials view the recognition as irreversible, intending to empower moderates on both sides and signal the possibility of peace. The move is part of a broader effort to revive the two-state solution and address historical injustices in the region, amidst escalating tensions and diplomatic isolation for Israel.
