Kemi Badenoch condemns UK recognition of Palestinian statehood

Kemi Badenoch, leader of the UK Conservative Party, has condemned Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to recognise Palestinian statehood.

In a post on X, the Tory leader described the policy as an “absolutely disastrous” decision made by the ruling Labour Party under the prime minister’s leadership.

The Conservative Party leader stated that the administration has only made this decision to distract attention from its inability to resolve the country’s immigration crisis.

Mrs Badenoch also said that the UK was likely to regret recognising the statehood of Palestine in the future.
