"The hope of creating two states is fading, but we can't let that light go out," Starmer explained.

The only viable solution, according to the British Prime Minister, is tocreate two states\u00A0. According to Starmer,this solution would be the oppositeof whatthebrutal terrorist organization  Hamas  claims.

The hope of creating two states is disappearing, but we cannot let that light go out. "

The movement has brought about a historic change in UK foreign policy, as several governments argued that recognition should only take place within the framework of a peace process and at the moment of greatest diplomatic impact.

Starmer warned in July that in September London would change its position if Israel did not establish a ceasefire in Gaza and commit itself to a sustainable agreement that would guarantee a two-state solution.

The decision has receivedstrong criticismfrom the Government Israel, associations of relatives of hostages and the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom .

With these latest announcements,some 150 A0UN countries officially recognize the State of Palestine, including 14 of the European Union, including France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia and Armenia.
