UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s 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 France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UK’s recognition promise just lip service?

In a high-stakes overnight assault, Russia unleashed a devastating missile and drone barrage on Ukraine. The attack featured Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles—some of Moscow’s most advanced and costly weapons—reportedly targeting key defense industry facilities and airbases, particularly in the Ivano-Frankivsk region where combat aircraft were said to be stationed. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed all intended targets were successfully hit. However, Ukraine countered with reports of Patriot missile systems intercepting several incoming threats, though conflicting claims persist.
The strikes also rattled Poland, which scrambled aircraft in response. With each Kinzhal missile costing nearly $10 million, the assault underscores Russia’s intent to Cripple Ukraine’s air capabilities and destroy Western-supplied equipment. But with growing doubts about the Kinzhal's maneuverability and Ukraine’s increasing interception rates, the missile’s “hypersonic” reputation faces scrutiny. Regional tensions are now on edge as both sides escalate their battle for air superiority.
