UK backs future Palestinian statehood but only as part of peace deal
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 26 – The UK insists on a ceasefire and negotiated peace before recognizing Palestine, contrasting France's planned UN recognition, amid calls from over 220 British MPs for statehood.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed his desire for a ceasefire and pledged UK aid to Palestinians amid rising humanitarian concerns on July 25, 2025.
- This followed mounting global anger over Gaza's starving population and calls from over 220 MPs urging UK recognition of a Palestinian state within a negotiated peace deal.
- Starmer highlighted that any recognition should be integrated into a broader strategy focused on establishing two independent states and ensuring enduring peace and safety for both Palestinian and Israeli communities.
- He emphasized that withholding assistance from children and infants cannot be justified under any circumstances and affirmed that the UK is committed to doing all it can to facilitate the delivery of aid through this channel.
- The UK signalled cooperation with allies to bolster aid deliveries and broker peace talks, while a planned call between leaders was postponed until the weekend.
