Starmer faces pressure to recognise Palestinian state immediately
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 26 – More than 220 UK MPs urge immediate recognition of Palestine to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, following France as the first G7 country to commit to statehood.
- Amid rising calls, over 220 British MPs demanded formal recognition of a Palestinian state, intensifying pressure on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
- Last week, the Labour government resisted recognition and continued arms sales, critics say.
- France would be the first G7 country to formally recognise Palestine, drawing condemnation from Israel and the United States.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said `working on a pathway to peace in the region`, adding that recognition must be part of a broader plan.
- Next week, a UN conference in New York on July 28-29 will convene under co-chairs France and Saudi Arabia to address Palestinian statehood.
