Britain is preparing to recognize the State of Palestine within days.

A British news site revealed yesterday, Wednesday, that the United Kingdom is preparing to officially recognize the State of Palestine over this weekend, as soon as U.S. President Donald Trump returns to the United States after his official visit.

The "i" website reported from government sources that the recognition could be announced within a few days once the U.S. president leaves the country, and before high-level foreign ministers' meetings at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, scheduled for next Monday.

Officials expect Trump to be asked about British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plans regarding the progress of recognizing the Palestinian state during the press conference that will bring them together today, justifying the postponement of the announcement until Trump's departure due to the diplomatic pressures faced by the government during the visit.

Officials stated that announcing the decision during Trump's visit could threaten to increase tensions with Washington, with Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisting on continuing their support for the Israeli war of extermination and starvation on the Gaza Strip.

In contrast to the U.S. position, the United Kingdom has adopted a harsher tone against Israel, as the Prime Minister and the new Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned what they described as an "unbearable humanitarian disaster" unfolding in Gaza.

Cooper described the Israeli aggression yesterday as "irresponsible and utterly horrifying," warning that it "will bring only more bloodshed, kill more innocent civilians, and put the remaining hostages at risk."

Starmer will not attend the scheduled UN meeting in New York next week, as the United Kingdom will be represented by Cooper and David Lammy, who has taken on the role of Deputy Prime Minister but was Foreign Secretary until this month.
