The UK should recognise the state of Palestine while there is still a Palestine left, a powerful Commons committee has told Keir Starmer. The foreign affairs select committee said the UK's actions over the ongoing conflict and "in the years preceding, have often been too little, too late," as they called for further sanctions "against settlers".

The announcement by President Emmanuel Macron of his intention to recognise Palestinian statehood puts huge pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to follow suit. The French have been itching to take this step for some time.

As starvation grips Gaza, more than 200 UK lawmakers urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to recognise Palestinian state.
