DescriptionThe quest for Palestinian independence is set to get a major boost as several diplomatic heavyweights are expected to recognize a State of Palestine.
In a historic step, Palestine has been recognised as an official state by the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced on Sunday (21 September) after concluding the humanitarian situation called for action.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the establishment of a Palestinian state “will not happen” following formal decisions by three Commonwealth nations to do so on Sunday.
