The United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada have formally recognized a Palestinian state, marking one of the most significant diplomatic shifts in decades.

Leaders in London, Canberra, and Ottawa described the move as a commitment to keeping the two-state solution alive amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.

The recognition places the three countries at odds with the United States, which has resisted such a step.
