UK prime minister and Labour leader, Keir Starmer's recent pledge to recognise the Palestinian state, shows everything that's wrong with his terrible leadership. He's the kind of insufferable centrist-at-all-costs that both sides hate equally. His kicking the ball down the road approach means he gets none of the kudos and all of the blame, plus his confused loading of criteria that must be met, gives Netanyahu endless get out clauses. Totally on brand for Starmer.
