Exactly it's pure politics. I'm sure all the people getting blown up in Gaza city and who have lost everything appreciate this gesture.

It's not at all cowardly and disingenous of the UK to link their recognition of a palestinian state to Israels actions. It really shows how deeply they believe in this cause. Also well done for starmer for coordinating this with everyone else so the UK wouldn't be singled out by trump.

But i have to hand it to France and Macron for being the most disingenous and cowardly of the lot. They spearheaded this effort and are bravely waiting to see what Trump will do before putting their money where their mouth is.
