Great Britain is considering recognition of Palestinian state

Great Britain is ready to formally recognise a Palestinian state, Foreign Secretary David Cameron has indicated on Tuesday.

This could be one of the things that help make this process irreversible”, he said.

He called on Israel to allow more international aid in the Gaza Strip and named <x0-> funny” the return of British vital aid and other aid to the border.

This war was sparked by a wave of attacks by Hamas fighters in Israel on October 7th, where about 1,300 people were killed and over 250 others were kidnapped, according to Israeli authorities. / REL
