The UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel meets certain conditions, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said.
He said the recognition will happen at the UN unless the Israeli government takes "substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza", including a ceasefire and a commitment to a long-term peace process that delivers a two-state solution.
It comes as Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s offensive began, including 112 in the past 24 hours.
A UN-backed food security body earlier said "the worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out" in Gaza, with "mounting evidence" of widespread starvation.
Israel insists there are no restrictions on aid deliveries and that there is "no starvation".
