1:34Now PlayingFour Western nations formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, a decision denounced by their ally Israel. Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Portugal said the recognition could help revive efforts to stop the war in Gaza and release the hostages.
The move spurred Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to say a Palestinian state will not happen. More countries are set to recognize Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly this week.
Hours before that announcement, Israeli strikes pummeled Gaza city. At least 40 people were killed, including children. Israel did not comment on the strikes, but has previously called Gaza City the final Hamas stronghold.
