UK to recognise Palestinian state unless Israel meets conditions

Sir Keir Starmer, England “Gaza” to end the terrible situation unless I take important steps “in September, he said he would recognize a Palestinian state.

The Prime Minister said that Israel should meet other conditions, including accepting a ceasefire, to be a long -term sustainable peace with a two -state solution, and to allow the United Nations to restart the supply of aid, or that the UN General Assembly should take steps in the UN General Assembly.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the movement “Hamas rewarded terrible terrorism”.

The United Kingdom Government said that recognition should come to a point where recognition may have a maximum effect as a part of a peace process.

However, the PM is under increasing pressure, including its own deputies to move faster.

Last week in France He announced that he will officially recognize a Palestinian state in September – The first of the G7 group of the richest countries in the world.

After organizing an emergency cabinet meeting, Sir Keir, who gave a news conference, said that he announced the plan because of the “unbearable situation” in Gaza and was concerned that “the possibility of a two -state solution has been reduced”.

He told journalists that Britain “a practical and dominant Palestinian state, a safe Israel target was” under pressure that it has never been before “.

The Prime Minister, “primary goal” in Gaza, including the entry of help to improve the situation is to improve the situation, he added.

Sir Keir said that Britain will recognize a Palestinian state unless the Israeli government has taken the following steps.

• Accepting a ceasefire
• Staying with a long -term sustainable peace, reviving the possibility of a two -state solution
• To allow the UN to restart the help supply
• There will be no annexation in the West Bank

Meanwhile, Hamas said that he should release almost all hostages, registering, disarmament and accept that they would not take part in the Gaza Government.

In response to Netanyahu’s statement on social media: “Today, a jihadist state on the Israeli border will threaten England tomorrow.

“Sooty for jihadist terrorists always fails. It fails you. This will not happen.”

When he asked if he knew whether the Prime Minister’s testimony was coming, Donald Trump said that during his meeting on his meeting on Monday, US President Scotland, the couple “never argued”.

He said to journalists: “If you do this, you reward Hamas … and I do not think they should be rewarded.”

US – with many European countries, he said he would recognize a Palestinian state as a part of a long -term decision to conflict.

Liberal Democratic leader Sir Ed Davey welcomed the government’s announcement as a “an important step”, but called the Prime Minister to recognize the Palestinian state immediately and “maintain much more action to stop the human disaster in Gaza”.

“Instead of using the recognition that should be realized months ago, as a bargaining chip, the Prime Minister should apply pressure to Israel by completely stopping arms sales and imposing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.”

Approximately 255 deputies signed a letter that asked the government to recognize a Palestinian state immediately – including more than half of the labor force deputies.

Sarah champion who coordinated the letter, said in the announcement that he was “satisfied and relaxed”.

“This will make a political pressure on Israel and clearly determine what is happening in Gaza and West Bank,” he said.

“However, I am troubled that our recognition depends on Israel’s actions.

“Israel is an invader, and recognition is about determining the fate of the Palestinian people. Two must be separate.”

Conservatives and reform Britain, now arguing that Hamas would reward Hamas for their attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, said that there was no right time to step.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said that recognizing a Palestinian state would “bring hostages home, will not end the war, and will not get help to Gaza.”

“This is the worst of the political stance.” He added.

The announcement comes after a call between Sir Keir and France and Germany leaders at the weekend when the Downing Street says that a sustainable route plans were discussed to a two -state solution.

However, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that his government had no plan to recognize a Palestinian state in the near future and that it could be “one of the last steps towards realizing a two -state solution”.

Most countries – about 139 of them – officially know a Palestinian state.

Spain, Ireland and Norway I took my step last yearHoping to make diplomatic pressure to provide ceasefire in Gaza.

Palestinian representatives currently have the right to participate in the UN event, and the region is recognized by various international organizations, including the Arab Union.

The skeptics claim that recognition is largely a symbolic gesture unless questions about the leadership and scope of a Palestinian state are first considered.

In the announcement of Sir Keir, Foreign Minister David Lammy addressed a UN conference in New York, which aims to develop a two -state solution to the conflict.

Lammy said in a statement to journalists, Britain in recent days to leave the air for 20 tons of aid to Gaza, he said, at the same time asked the help trucks to be allowed to enter the land.

The UN agencies described the situation in Gaza as “human -making mass hunger” and blamed the human crisis over Israel, which controlled the entry of all materials into the region.

Israel insisted that there was no restriction on aid delivery and there was no “no hunger”.
