Britain has announced its decision to recognise a Palestinian state, marking a significant shift in its foreign policy and aiming to revive the stalled two-state solution for peace in the Middle East. Foreign Secretary David Lammy made the announcement at a United Nations conference, emphasizing that supporting both Israel's security and Palestinian statehood are not mutually exclusive. Lammy acknowledged Britain's historical role in the conflict, referencing the Balfour Declaration and the unfulfilled promise to Palestinians, which he described as an ongoing historical injustice. The move comes as part of broader international efforts, including a new document from the conference chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, to find a path forward for peace and address the longstanding conflict.
