The US – Israel’s main ally – has echoed Netanyahu’s argument. <\/p>\n
President Donald Trump, speaking alongside Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer this week, while on a state visit to the UK, said he disagreed with recognition.<\/p>\n
Around three quarters of the UN’s 193 members already recognise a Palestinian state, which in 2012 was granted the status of non-member observer state. <\/p>\n
As world leaders prepare to gather at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Israeli tanks and troops are continuing to advance into Gaza City as part of a ground offensive, which has forced thousands of people to flee.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel in 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.<\/p>\n
At least 65,141 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s health ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The US – Israel’s main ally – has echoed Netanyahu’s argument.
