29.07.2025 โ‡ข The Conditional Recognition
โŒจUK media on July 29 initially prioritized breaking news of a shooting at a New York skyscraper, with unfolding details of casualties, including a police officer. Concurrently, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza gained significant attention, as UN-backed bodies escalated warnings of widespread famine. This prompted Prime Minister Starmer to convene an emergency cabinet meeting, following earlier discussions with President Trump about "real starvation" in Gaza. Later in the day, a new prominent domestic story emerged concerning Tommy Robinson, who was reported to have fled the country following an incident at St Pancras station, leading to a police manhunt. However, the dominant editorial focus shifted in the late afternoon to Prime Minister Starmer's announcement that the UK would conditionally recognize a Palestinian state by September. This policy shift, contingent on Israel agreeing to a Gaza ceasefire and substantive steps towards a two-state solution, immediately drew strong condemnation from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who viewed it as rewarding Hamas.
