Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer says he'll recognise Palestinian statehood unless Israel takes measures to end what he called the appalling situation in Gaza.

In a statement, the 83-year-old said his health was not an issue and his candidacy was driven by a need, he said, to "preserve national stability amid ongoing security and economic challenges". Critics say this violates the original two-term limit and undermines constitutional continuity.
