Part 3/11:
In the wake of this violence, some Western nations have signaled their support for recognizing a Palestinian state. France has already promised such recognition, despite Gaza being still controlled by extremists and Israeli hostages trapped in tunnels. The United Kingdom, under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (referred to pejoratively as "Kama" in the transcript), has similarly announced plans to recognize Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly unless Israel halts its military operations.
