Sir Keir Starmer has said the UK will recognise a Palestinian state if certain conditions were not met by Israel

In the past few days, Arab governments have urged Hamas to disarm and surrender control of Gaza, after a number of Western countries - including France and Canada - announced plan

The statement came at a United Nations conference in New York on a two-state solution to end the decades-long conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
