UK to recognise Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees ceasefire and two-state solution, Starmer says
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 29 – The UK demands Israel end Gaza hostilities, halt West Bank annexation, and commit to a two-state solution or will recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September.
- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that the UK plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, provided the Israeli government does not make meaningful progress toward resolving the crisis in Gaza.
- This decision follows growing pressure within the Labour party and from international allies, alongside concerns that the two-state solution is increasingly at risk.
- Starmer stressed conditions include Israel agreeing to a ceasefire, ending the Gaza crisis, and Hamas releasing hostages, disarming, and taking no role in Gaza's government.
- He emphasized the necessity of allowing a minimum of 500 trucks to deliver aid into Gaza daily and is collaborating with France, Germany, and the US to promote a lasting ceasefire and broader peace initiative.
- Starmer will assess September progress before a final decision, emphasizing no party will have veto power, and aims to protect the long-term viability of a two-state solution.
