UK to recognise Palestinian state unless Israel meets conditions

The UK plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel takes substantive steps to improve the situation in Gaza. This decision follows pressure on the UK government to act swiftly and aligns with France's similar announcement. The move aims to promote a two-state solution and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with conditions including a ceasefire and resuming aid supply. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision, emphasizing that such recognition could threaten security.
