Freed British-Israeli hostage says Starmer not 'on right side of history' over Palestine recognition
Wednesday, 30 July 2025 () A British-Israeli woman who was held hostage by Hamas for more than a year has said Sir Keir Starmer is "not standing on the right side of history" after his conditional pledge to recognise Palestine as a state.
Europe’s powerful ‘E3’—Germany, France, and the UK—are signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israel’s blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline....
Keir Starmer has announced plans to stabilise business rates and allow easier access to loans in a bid to support small businesses. In a speech delivered in Wiltshire on Thursday, the prime minister said 38 businesses are forced to shut every day due to late payments, costing the economy "£11bn per year". Report by Kennedyl.

A shadow minister has said the government's recognition of Palestine as an independent state is unlikely to happen. Keir Starmer said he would recognise the state if Hamas surrendered power. Shadow chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart said: "Hamas is not about to lay down it's weapons and go quietly into the night. I just think this is nonsense really." Report by Kennedyl.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Aviv’s missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets — including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemen’s relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear — Gaza’s resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

In a seismic shift in foreign policy, Canada has announced it will formally recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th UN General Assembly session in September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the move essential to preserve hopes of a two-state solution—calling current efforts "eroded before our eyes." The decision follows similar recognitions by France and the UK, creating a powerful bloc pushing for Palestinian statehood. However, Carney made the recognition conditional—insisting on PA reforms, 2026 elections excluding Hamas, and full demilitarisation. Israel has blasted the decision, calling it a "distorted campaign of international pressure" and warning it legitimises Hamas's October 7 atrocities. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas hailed the move as “historic.” The tension between international recognition and Israeli resistance could reshape global diplomacy on the conflict.

The UK, France and Canada have drawn a line in the sand and are saying in concert that they will recognise Palestinian statehood in September. Sky News
In a dramatic twist that could shake North American diplomacy, U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery warning at Canada following its unexpected endorsement of Palestinian statehood. Trump took to Truth Social to express his outrage, stating, “That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” The statement comes amid ongoing discussions about trade relations between the two nations.
Canada’s stance on Palestine appears to have infuriated Trump, who sees this as a betrayal of U.S. interests and a roadblock to future trade negotiations. The move has sparked intense reactions across the political spectrum, with analysts now speculating about a potential freeze in economic ties. Trump's outburst raises concerns of diplomatic fallout and shifts the spotlight to Canada's role in the Middle East peace debate. Could this signal a bigger rift between traditional allies? The world is watching.
