The UK, Australia and Canada have today officially announced that they will recognise Palestine as a State.

What are your thoughts on this? Is this the right move?

Sir Keir Starmer has announced the UK has officially recognised Palestine as a state.

"Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine," the prime minister said on X, alongside a longer video statement.

"In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two-state solution.

"That means a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state. At the moment, we have neither."

It’s a big move to be honest. Sometimes when I read the news I always feel pity for that region because they have really suffered and any step toward recognition or peace is welcomed. It looks very simple but politics is not that simple as there are a lot of political gimmicks here and there. Sometimes one country’s decision just sparks another round of arguments, the next thing you would hear is that the agreement is no more valid. I just hope this leads to something meaningful for the people on ground because they are the ones feeling the real heat.
