Keir Starmer is under pressure from cabinet ministers for the UK to immediately recognise Palestine as a state, as global outcry grows over Israel\u2019s killing of starving civilians in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime minister is understood to have been urged by a number of senior ministers in different cabinet meetings over recent months that the UK should take a leading role in issuing recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK plans to formally acknowledge Palestine as part of a peace process, but only in conjunction with other western countries and \u201cat the point of maximum impact\u201d \u2013 without saying what that would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there has been a growing sense of desperation and horror inside the Labour cabinet in recent weeks over Israel\u2019s killing of starving Palestinian civilians<\/a> in Gaza and its attacks on humanitarian agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe say that recognising Palestinian statehood is a really important symbol that you can only do once. But if not now, then when?\u201d one cabinet minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, nearly 60 Labour MPs demanded<\/a> that the UK immediately recognise Palestine as a state, after Israel\u2019s defence minister announced plans<\/a> to force all residents of Gaza into a camp on the ruins of Rafah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel is facing intensifying international condemnation for its actions in Gaza, with the UN secretary general, Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, warning that the \u201clast lifelines keeping people alive [in the strip] are collapsing\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmanuel Macron, the French president, told British parliamentarians<\/a> in a visit this month that a two-state solution was \u201cthe only way\u201d to build peace and stability in the region. However, diplomats say he has faced resistance from allies such as Britain and Canada over his push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France and Saudi Arabia are co-chairing a rescheduled international conference at the UN in New York later this month to discuss postwar plans for Gaza<\/a> and preparations for formally acknowledging Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, who said he felt \u201cappalled, sickened\u201d<\/a> by the scenes of starving Palestinians being shot as they sought food, said the UK would \u201cplay its part\u201d in reaching a two-state solution for the Middle East, including working with the French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe said we wanted that to be part of a process. But we have had no process. What we have had is mayhem and conflict. There has been no process to attach that recognition to,\u201d he told the BBC on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy do we say that? It\u2019s because we don\u2019t just want to recognise symbolically, we want to recognise as a way of getting to the two states that sadly many are trying to thwart at this point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut there is a live debate and discussion and let me restate again my belief in two states, and two states in which Palestinians have their dignity and freedom and Israel has its security for its people. We will do all we can to achieve that in time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an unusual Commons intervention on Gaza, the health secretary, Wes Streeting<\/a>, on Tuesday called for recognition of the state of Palestine \u201cwhile there\u2019s still a state of Palestine left to recognise\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He criticised the \u201cintolerable\u201d attack by Israel on the World Health Organization\u2019s staff residence and main warehouse in Deir al-Balah on Monday, which had compromised its operations in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pierbattista<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI deplore Israel\u2019s attacks on healthcare workers as well as other innocent civilians trying to access healthcare or vital aid. These actions go well beyond legitimate self-defence and undermine the prospects for peace,\u201d he told MPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI sincerely hope that the international community can come together, as the foreign secretary has been driving towards, to make sure that we see an end of this war but also that we recognise the state of Palestine while there is a state of Palestine left to recognise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streeting is understood to be among the cabinet ministers who have pushed for recognition of Palestine in recent cabinet meetings. The justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, and the Northern Ireland secretary, Hilary Benn, are also understood to have brought up the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Commons liaison committee on Monday, the prime minister said the situation in Gaza was \u201cintolerable\u201d as he repeated the UK\u2019s commitment to recognising a Palestinian state \u201cat a time most conducive to the prospects of peace\u201d in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel has been fighting Hamas in the Gaza Strip since the Palestinian militant group\u2019s deadly attack on Israel in October 2023. A US-backed proposal for a 60-day ceasefire is being discussed at talks in Doha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
