US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that Sir Keir Starmer's pledge to recognize a Palestinian state may reduce chances of a ceasefire. The UK will only consider recognition if Israel allows aid into Gaza, stops annexing land in the West Bank, agrees to a ceasefire, and signs up to a long-term peace process within two months. France and Canada have also announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state, with Rubio calling the move "irrelevant".
