Starmer's misuse of Palestinian rights is disingenuous, despicable & dangerous. Analysis: The UK is using Palestinian state recognition "as a stick to persuade Israel to agree to a ceasefire." "Should Israel agree to those conditions, the UK will presumably *not* recognise Palestine as a state in September, but will revert to its original position on a two-state solution."
