A shadow minister has said the government's recognition of Palestine as an independent state is unlikely to happen.
Keir Starmer said he would recognise the state if Hamas surrendered power.
Shadow chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart said: "Hamas is not about to lay down it's weapons and go quietly into the night.
I just think this is nonsense really." Report by Kennedyl.
