Keir Starmer Reveals Plan to Recognize Palestine.. When Will Britain Officially Announce the State?

The British newspaper "Telegraph" reported that Prime Minister Keir Starmer intends this week to reveal a detailed plan to recognize a Palestinian state, in an attempt to contain the increasing pressures within the Labour Party he leads.

This plan is the most detailed so far by the British government, outlining what needs to be achieved before London officially recognizes Palestine.

According to the newspaper, British recognition of a Palestinian state will remain conditional on achieving a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza, as well as the release of all hostages.

The plan also includes enhancing the British government's efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, where the population faces dire conditions amid ongoing war and shortages of supplies.

Earlier, the Prime Minister's office announced that Starmer met with former US President Donald Trump in Scotland, discussing the shocking humanitarian scenes in Gaza.

A joint statement said that both sides agreed on the urgent need to take action to alleviate suffering, allow for widespread and rapid aid delivery.

They also declared their commitment to work together to end the hunger crisis, continue to press for the immediate release of remaining hostages, and renew the call for an immediate ceasefire.

French President Emmanuel Macron had announced days ago that France would recognize the state of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meetings in September.

According to a survey conducted by Agence France-Presse, at least 142 out of 193 members of the United Nations currently recognize the Palestinian state, which was unilaterally declared in 1988.
