Britain to recognise Palestine after Trump leaves UK this weekend: Report

Britain will reportedly formally recognise a Palestinian state this weekend, following the departure of US President Donald Trump from his state visit. The decision comes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that action would be taken unless Israel took steps to relieve suffering in Gaza and reach a ceasefire. The announcement is being timed to occur after Trump, who opposes the move, has left the country. This potential diplomatic shift highlights a point of contention with the United States, which has made its opposition to such recognition by European allies clear.
