Summary
Nearly two years on from the October 7 attacks by Hamas and subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza, Sir Keir Starmer has joined other world leaders in recognising a Palestinian state. <br /><br />The UK prime minister made the decision after months of pressure from dozens of his own MPs – but will it be enough to appease those in Labour who want to go even further? What does he hope the move will achieve and could it lead to the UK banning arms sales to Israel? <br /><br />Niall is joined by Sky's security and defence analyst Michael Clarke and former Labour adviser Scarlett MccGwire. <br /><br />Producer: Emily Hulme and Tom Gillespie <br />Editor: Mike Bovill <br />
