Starmer holds off recognising a Palestinian state

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

More than one third of MPs, drawn from across the political parties, have signed a letter urging the Prime Minister to give official recognition to a Palestinian state. The letter piles pressure on Sir Keir Starmer after France committed to recognising a Palestinian state within months. Thailand warns two days of border clashes with Cambodia could 'move towards war' And as it gets ready to celebrate its 200th birthday, we take a look at preparations for a street party outside the National Gallery.
