The United Kingdom, Australia and Canada on Sunday formally recognised the state of Palestine as part of an effort to revive momentum for a two-state solution, according to a joint statement.
The three leaders in apparently coordinated moves issued statements in this regard two days ahead of the start of the UN General Assembly’s annual “High-Level General Debate” in New York.
The moves will have no impact on the ground realities, global leaders and analysts have already said, and are only intended “to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution” amid the rapidly diminishing prospects.
On Sunday, Israeli forces killed 55 people across the Gaza Strip, defying months of international calls for a ceasefire.
