Trump says he disagrees with UK on recognising Palestinian state

Keir Starmer plans UK recognition of Palestine as independent state if Israel fails humanitarian conditions in Gaza, differing from Trump; aligns with other countries at UN meeting.

  • On September 18, 2025, US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at Chequers to discuss the war in Gaza, revealing disagreement over recognising a Palestinian state.
  • Their meeting followed a major Israeli ground offensive in Gaza and a UN commission report concluding Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, intensifying political pressure on recognition plans.
  • Starmer emphasized the government's main goals are delivering aid to Gaza and securing hostage releases, while expressing concern the two-state solution seems increasingly distant despite the ongoing conflict.
  • Trump noted that he and Prime Minister Starmer differed on the issue of recognizing a Palestinian state, describing it as one of their few points of contention, while both leaders concurred on the importance of pursuing peace and establishing a clear plan for the region.
  • The UK plans to recognise Palestine conditionally after Trump’s state visit, alongside Western allies at the UN General Assembly, signaling mounting international pressure amid Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
