The UK will recognise Palestinian statehood in September,

unless Israel abides by a ceasefire, commits to a two-state solution,

and agrees not to annex the West Bank.

I'm Megan Gibson, and this is the New Statesman podcast.

Yesterday marked a clear shift in Kier-Starmor's position on Israel's war in Gaza.

However, this is prompted backlash from all sides. So what is there to gain? Joining me today are Megan Kenyon, New Statesman's political correspondent and Georgine, senior editor of politics.

Hello, Megan. Now this appears to be a shift in position from Sturmer.

What has changed in recent weeks?

Well, I think this is primarily a decision driven by politics.

You've had nearly half the cabinet,

including the likes of Angela Rainer, Evac Cooper, David Lamy, Ed Miliband,

all pushing for faster recognition of a

Palestinian state. You've had 130 Labour MPs right to Kirstama demanding the same, and you've

had growing public outrage at the humanitarian catastrophe. Their papers featuring those awful images of skeletal children.

I think this is resonating with the public in a very powerful, enduring way.

In politics, you have to respond to moments like this and avoid becoming isolated.
