Pas Francës, edhe Britania e Madhe është gati të njohë

The United Kingdom will recognize Palestinian statehood in September ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Keir Starmer said.

Starmer said this would happen "unless the Israeli government takes substantial steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, achieves a ceasefire, makes it clear that there will be no annexation of the West Bank and commits to a long-term peace process that offers a two-state solution" .

He also reiterated that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas and that the UK's demands on Hamas remain - that they must release all hostages, sign a ceasefire, agree that they will play no role in the Gaza government and disarm.

Starmer pledged to make an assessment before the UNGA of how far the parties have fulfilled these steps before making a final decision, ensuring that neither party will have a veto, the statement said.

This statement comes after French President Emmanuel Macron said he is ready to announce recognition of a Palestinian state in September.
