Starmer says that the United Kingdom may recognize Palestine

Prime Minister Kiir Starmer said on Tuesday that the United Kingdom will get to know a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, and allows the United Nations to provide assistance and take other steps towards long -term peace.

Starmer, who is exposed to the growing local pressure on the issue of hunger in Gaza, to terrify many British, a rare meeting of the Cabinet in the summer to discuss the situation in Gaza. This came after discussing the situation in Gaza with President Donald Trump during a meeting in Scotland on Monday.

The president told reporters that he does not mind “taking a position” in the country.

Starmer said after the meeting that Britain would learn about the state of Palestine in front of the United Nations General Assembly, "Unless the Israeli government takes fundamental steps to end the horrific situation in Gaza, it agrees to a ceasefire, a long -term peaceful peace, and to revive the possibility of a two -state solution.

"This includes allowing the United Nations to re -supply aid, and clarify that there will be no annexation in the West Bank," He said.

The UK’s request also reiterated that Hamas would issue all the hostages it maintains, agreed to the ceasefire, remove them, and “accept that they will not play any role in the Gaza government.”

Starmer said in a televised statement that his government would reside in September “to the extent of the parties dedicated to these steps” before making a final decision regarding the recognition.

Britain has long supported the idea of an independent Palestinian state present alongside Israel, but said that recognition should come as part of a two -state solution to the conflict.

But Starmer said on Tuesday that Britain was ready to take this step because “the idea of a two -state solution decreases and feels far away today than it was for many years."

He said that despite the set of conditions it launched, Britain believes that “the state is the unusual right of the Palestinian people.”
