UK officials, including Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, have expressed disappointment in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stance against a Palestinian sovereign state, as discussed in Shapps' interview with Laura Kuenssberg. The UK reaffirms its commitment to a two-state solution to address the Israel-Palestine conflict, a position that Netanyahu opposes. Shapps emphasizes that Palestinians deserve a sovereign state and that there is no alternative other than a two-state solution for peace and security in the region. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office has also reiterated support for this approach. The question of how the UK can proceed diplomatically with Israel was raised by @NIAbbot.
