British press announces date! Britain will recognize Palestine

British media reported that the government would recognize the state of Palestine following the conclusion of US President Donald Trump 's visit to the UK . According to reports citing government sources, the UK will announce its recognition of the state this week.

The statement will be made after Trump's two-day visit to the UK. The decision will also be made before next week's United Nations General Assembly.

Government officials also expect Trump, who will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer tomorrow, to raise the issue of recognizing a Palestinian state.

Reports noted that the decision to postpone recognizing a Palestinian state until after Trump's departure pointed to pressure on the government.

British media also reported that Starmer will call on Trump tomorrow to use more of his influence for peace in the Middle East .

Prime Minister Starmer announced in July that if Israel did not meet certain conditions and did not accept a ceasefire in Gaza , they would recognize the state of Palestine in September.

"I can confirm that the UK will recognise the state of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes concrete steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, accept a ceasefire and revive the possibility of a two-state solution, committing to a long-term sustainable peace," Starmer said.
