Britain's Deputy Prime Minister emphasized on Sunday that merely recognizing a Palestinian state is not a magic wand for immediate statehood realization. The process, he highlighted, needs to be part of a larger peace framework.
David Lammy conveyed to Sky News the UK government's stance, asserting that any step towards recognition is aimed at keeping the two-state solution viable and open. The endeavor is not just a symbolic gesture but a strategic part of peace negotiations.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is poised to make a pivotal decision later on Sunday, which could reshape UK policy on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
