Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognised the state of Palestine on Sunday in a major diplomatic shift ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this week, where the question of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be front and centre. Follow our liveblog for the latest developments.

Yesterday's key developments:

  • The world should not be "intimidated" by Israel when moving to recognise Palestinian statehood, UN chief Antonio Guterres said.

  • Lebanon said a strike in the country's south killed one person Saturday while Israel said it had targeted a Hezbollah operative.

  • Israeli strikes killed at least 14 people overnight from Friday to Saturday in Gaza City, health officials said.

  • Hamas's armed wing published "farewell" photographs of most of the remaining hostages in Gaza, warning that Israel's assault on Gaza City could endanger them.
