This statement became a loud diplomatic signal against the backdrop of an escalating humanitarian crisis in the region.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the UK will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September if Israel does not halt its military operations in Gaza and commit to a long-term peace process.
Speaking at a rare summer cabinet session focused on the Middle East crisis, Starmer laid out the conditions for recognition:
An end to the "horrific situation in Gaza",
A full ceasefire,
Clear rejection of West Bank annexation,
Commitment to a two-state solution.
Starmer emphasized that Hamas has no place in the future of the region and called for the immediate release of hostages and disarmament of the group.
France has already announced its intention to recognize Palestine in September, becoming the first G7 and UN Security Council member to do so. This marks growing international pressure on Israel amid the worsening humanitarian crisis.
