Watch: Keir Starmer says UK recognises Palestinian state

The United Kingdom officially acknowledges a Palestinian state, following Canada as the first G7 nation to do so, with Australia also on board. UK's Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer highlighted the move's role in advancing the potential for peace and vowed to work on securing the release of Israeli captives. Despite this, Israel's foreign ministry views the recognition as a misguided reward for Hamas.
