Description

The UK has formally recognised a Palestinian state, marking a major shift in foreign policy. Israel has criticised the move, describing it as a reward to Hamas. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said there will never be a Palestinian state. The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, welcomed the decision as a step towards lasting peace in the region. In other news, emails allegedly sent by the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been published in two newspapers. And the Liberal Democrats have called for a windfall tax on banks to fund public services and help homeowners with energy costs.
