      Get ready for flood of bad faith zio-bot arguments as to why we must absolutely not recognize palestinians for some reason

    2. Commercial_Tie3201 on

      This is going to fall apart so quickly.
      The palestinians are not going to recognise this recognition or any of the preconditions.

      I hope they can get their own country, but if we are real it should not be neighboring with Israel. Anything else won’t change the bloody reality of things.

      Just waiting for the wave of whataboutism and other logical fallacies from the usual crowd who only comment on one subject!

      Israel shouldnt have existed ever. The worst mistake UK did

    9. AlwaysReadyGo on

      A long-overdue affirmation of a people’s right to exist and to determine their own future. Two Commonwealth realms, Canada and Australia, have done the same today.

      **Keir Starmer’s announcement comes seven decades after end of British mandate in Palestine and creation of state of Israel**

      The UK has formally recognised Palestine as an independent state, Keir Starmer has announced.

      The deeply symbolic move comes seven decades after the end of the British mandate in Palestine and the formation of the state of Israel.

      Canada and Australia on Sunday also made their own formal declarations recognising Palestine before a conference of the UN general assembly in New York.

      The UK prime minister said: “The hope of a two-state solution is fading but we cannot let that light go out … Today, to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution, I state clearly, as prime minister of this great country, that the UK formally recognises the state of Palestine.”

      He added: “In the face of the growing horrors in the Middle East we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two-state solution. That means a safe and secure Israel, alongside a viable Palestinian state. At the moment we have neither.”

      London sees the step as a lever to push for a lasting settlement to end the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine. Under that envisioned deal, a reformed and elected Palestinian government, stripped of Hamas influence, would operate alongside Israel.

      The move is not being portrayed as a punishment of Israel, but it is unlikely the step would have been taken if the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had conducted the military campaign in Gaza with less ferocity and greater regard for international law.

      Speaking shortly before the announcement, a spokesperson for Netanyahu said he viewed the recognition as “absurd and simply a reward for terrorism”.

      In an attempt to address criticisms of the move from the US and Israel, Starmer insisted that recognition was not a reward for Hamas, and the UK would introduce further sanctions against senior figures in the militant group in coming weeks.

      He said: “Let’s be frank, Hamas is a brutal terror organisation. Our call for a genuine two-state solution is the exact opposite of their hateful vision. So we are clear, this solution is not a reward for Hamas, because it means Hamas can have no future, no role in government, no role in security.”

      Calling on Israel to allow more aid into Gaza, Starmer added: “The man-made humanitarian crisis in Gaza reaches new depths. The Israeli government’s relentless and increasing bombardment of Gaza, the offensive of recent weeks, the starvation and devastation are utterly intolerable. Tens of thousands have been killed, including thousands as they tried to collect food and water. This death and destruction horrifies all of us. It must end.”

      Starmer [announced in July](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/29/uk-to-recognise-state-of-palestine-in-september-unless-israel-holds-to-a-ceasefire) that the UK would recognise Palestine by the time of the UN general assembly, which begins next week, unless Israel abided by a ceasefire and committed to a two-state solution in the Middle East.

    11. I can’t believe these people were elected and say such rubbish. Asking a pack of wild dogs to behave and Then will be surprised when they start infighting for who gets control.

      Let’s hope we can put enough pressure on Germany (the US is a lost cause).

      However we should also not forget that the so-called “western powers” are greatly responsible for the current mess in the region.

    13. Careless-Pin-2852 on

      So who does the UK recognize as its leader?

      Like if there is not a recognized president or PM of Palistine this is a meaningless feel good act. I went through the story and could not find the names of any Palestinians.

      Where is Abass? If the UK does not like him ok who is the legitimate leader?

      Like imagine if there was a Palestine Embassy in the countries that recognized Palestine.

    14. bahhaar-blts on

      The gesture is nice and all but unless they threaten to cut all ties especially trade ties and military ties with Israel then this is just a PR performance and doesn’t pressure Israel in anyway to stop their actions.

      The move will damage France’s, the UK’s, Canada’s and Australia’s standing more than anything else. It’s a short term move by cowards to save their political careers by gaining support of far-left pro-Hamas voters, but in the long-term any offer of statehood from those same countries to anyone else will have absolutely 0 value, because everyone will see that the Palestine example won’t change anything on the field, and on the contrary the two-state solution will simply definitely die as Israel will, and should, annex the West Bank (at least all areas where Israelis already live), and any resolution that would try to enforce any material change to borders in favor of a fictitious “Palestinian” state will simply be vetoed by the US for years to come, and no Western country in its right mind will want to open an embassy in Ramallah or Gaza, and Israel will and should not allow it anyway.

      Those countries that chose to reward terrorism and mass rapes will be humiliated by Israel and the US in the years to come, they’ll lose more and more leverage on the international scene as everyone will wake up to the fact that their words mean nothing.

      “Israel categorically rejects the one-sided declaration of the recognition of a Palestinian state made by the United Kingdom and some other countries” – exactly what Palestine did seventy years ago, and nobody cares

    17. GranularLifestyle on

      Europe lacks geopolitical sway and what they say has no impact in the real world.

      Get ready for the compromised US government to throw a shitfit over this

    19. EquipmentAdorable982 on

      Maybe stupid question, but what’s the point exactly?

      I get that it’s about sending a message to Israel, and possibly the US, but how will this move tangibly help out Palestinians, or in other words, how will this stop Israel?
