UK still intends to recognise a Palestinian state, David Lammy to tell MPs

Foreign secretary to say an assessment will be carried out of whether Israel has complied with Keir Starmer's terms

David Lammy will tell MPs on Monday that the UK still intends to recognise a Palestinian state in September, with Israel having shown no sign of meeting the government's demands.

The foreign secretary will say in a Commons statement that government officials intend to carry out a formal assessment in the coming days of whether Israel has complied with the tests set out by the prime minister, Keir Starmer.
