Britain will recognize Palestinian state this weekend, Times reports

LONDON: Britain will formally recognize a Palestinian state this weekend, after US President Donald Trump, who opposes the decision, has left the country at the end of his state visit, the Times newspaper reported. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned in July that it would take the action unless Israel took steps to relieve suffering in Gaza and reached a ceasefire in its nearly two-year war with Hamas. Israel says recognizing a Palestinian state, which France, Canada, and Australia have also said they will do this month, would reward Hamas.
