UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following Franceās bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an āinalienable right.ā However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UKās real intent.
In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for Franceās recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act ā or delay. The Gaza warās horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UKās recognition promise just lip service?

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macronās bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September ā making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestineās 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macronās decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a āreward for terrorā and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it āreckless.ā Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it āhistoric.ā Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand exploded into deadly border clashes this week, killing at least 13 and displacing over 170,000. Cambodia has urgently called for an immediate ceasefire, citing a desire for a peaceful resolution. The conflict flared near the disputed Preah Vihear and Prasat Ta Muen Thom temples, ancient religious sites turned battlegrounds. Artillery and rocket fire were exchanged, with accusations flying at the United Nations Security Council.
Thailand blamed Cambodia for "inhumane" attacks, while Cambodia argued that Thailand initiated the violence. A century-old land disputeārooted in colonial maps and contested rulingsāhas resurfaced, reigniting fears of a broader war. The 2013 ICJ ruling gave control of the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia, yet Thailand continues to dispute surrounding territory. With both militaries mobilized and thousands fleeing their homes, the region teeters on the edge of a larger humanitarian crisis.

Al-Quds Brigades have released new video footage showing mortar strikes on Israeli military positions in Khan Younis. The video captures masked fighters assembling and firing mortars from civilian areas, followed by multiple explosions targeting Israeli supply lines and troop buildings. Black smoke and direct hits are visible in the footage. This comes as Hamas claims 20,000 fighters remain active, with leaders like Abu Obeida warning of more severe retaliation if Israeli raids persist. Despite months of operations, Israel faces ongoing resistance in southern Gaza.

Another Gaza ceasefire deal has crumbled, with Hamas accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of undermining peace efforts. Hamas officials claim they were never informed of the U.S.-Israel decision to abandon indirect talks. Trump blamed Hamas for āacting in bad faith,ā hinting at possible U.S. military action in Gaza. As rockets rain on Israel and IDF strikes continue, families of hostages and thousands of Palestinians lose hope for an end to the conflict. Netanyahu echoed Trump, vowing āalternative optionsā with U.S. backing.
