The UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel meets certain conditions, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said. He said the recognition will happen at the UN unless the Israeli government takes « substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza », including a ceasefire and a commitment to a long-term peace process that delivers a two-state solution.

It comes as Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s offensive began, including 112 in the past 24 hours.

A UN-backed food security body earlier said « the worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out » in Gaza, with « mounting evidence » of widespread starvation. Israel insists there are no restrictions on aid deliveries and that there is « no starvation ».
