UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK will recognise a Palestinian state at a UN meeting in September unless Israel meets certain conditions.
He says the plan will go ahead unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza including a ceasefire.
In response, Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu told Mr. Starmer that he is rewarding Hamas and punishing its victims.
About 140 countries formally recognised the Palestinian state, and last week, France pledged to do so at the same UN meeting.
Earlier, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel's offensive began.
The troubled enclave is on the brink of starvation, with a famine currently playing out in Gaza.
Israel insists there are no restrictions on A-delivers and there is no starvation.
