What historic diplomatic step did the UK take regarding Palestine in September 2025, despite opposition from the US and Israel?
Recognised a Palestinian stateOn September 21, 2025, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer formally announced the UK’s recognition of a Palestinian state, calling it a move to revive peace hopes for both Palestinians and Israelis. This decision follows similar recognitions by Canada and Australia and precedes expected declarations at the UN General Assembly, including by France. Despite criticism from the US and Israel, who argue it rewards terrorism, the UK emphasized that Hamas must release hostages and will have no role in governance. The move carries symbolic weight given Britain’s historical role via the 1917 Balfour Declaration and its mandate over Palestine. Deputy PM David Lammy described it as correcting a long-standing historical injustice.
