The Jerusalem Post reports: “Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, criticized the United Kingdom’s threat to recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel takes ‘substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza,’ according to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statement to the UK Cabinet on Tuesday.

‘Israel has already agreed many times to a ceasefire,’ Danon wrote on X/Twitter, following the UK’s demands for an immediate ceasefire, aid to be allowed into Gaza on a continuing basis, and the release of hostages.

Danon pointed out, ‘No token recognition and no UN resolution will change the basic fact that there are those who fight terrorists and extremist forces, and then there are those who turn a blind eye or resort to appeasement.’…”
