13:30Now Playing'Why now?': Lewis Goodall questions Deputy PM over the UK's Palestinian statehood move
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLewis Goodall speaks to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy ahead of the expected announcement from Sir Keir Starmer that the UK will recognise Palestinian statehood this afternoon.
The prime minister said in July that the UK would shift its position unless Israel met several conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and committing to a long-term peace process leading to a Palestinian state co-existing alongside Israel.
The Israeli leadership has ruled this out since the start of the war following Hamas's attack in southern Israel on 7 October 2023 in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage.
The PM's move has drawn fierce criticism from the Israeli government, families of hostages held in Gaza and some Conservatives.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously said recognition of a Palestinian state "rewards terror".
