The British government will recognize the state of Palestine in September, before the celebration of the UN General Assembly, if Israel does not meet a series of conditions, including taking steps to end the “catastrophic situation in Gaza”, decree the fire and ensure that we will not be annexed with the West Bank.
At the meeting of the Council of Emergency Ministers held on Tuesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also demanded Israel who commits himself to a long -term peace process that achieves a solution of two states, one Israeli and the other Palestinian.
Subsequently, in a statement followed by questions from journalists, the British leader stressed that in September he will evaluate compliance with these conditions to make a decision.
“Today I can confirm that the United Kingdom will recognize the state of Palestine in September, before the celebration of the UN General Assembly, unless Israel of substantive steps to end the catastrophic situation in Gaza, agrees a high fire and commits itself to a long -term solution that revives the solution of two states.
And this includes allowing the UN to introduce humanitarian aid and make it clear that there will not be an annexation of the West Bank, ”he said.
Regarding the situation in the strip, Starmer said that “images that will stay all our life” are being seen, so he urged the Israeli authorities to “cease suffering.”

“We have to see at least 500 trucks (with help) entering Gaza every day,” he said, after explaining that he addressed the humanitarian situation yesterday with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, in Scotland.
At the same time, he acknowledged that the objective of the two states “is under pressure as never before” and that this solution is “threatened.”
Similarly, he sent a message to “Hamas’s terrorists”, whom he called to disarm, to join a high fire and accept that he will not be able to play any role in any future government in Gaza.
Starmer’s ads arrive after more than a third of their own Labor Deputies and some of the heavyweights of their Executive, such as the Minister of Health, Wes Streeting, have publicly claimed him to recognize the state of Palestine.
In a protest today against Downing Street, dozens of protesters claimed Starmer not to take longer and recognize Palestine as soon as possible, and exercise greater pressure on Israel to stop his punitive operation against the Palestinians in Gaza.
This month, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said that his country will recognize Palestine during the UN General Assembly, while other European countries, such as Spain, already previously did this year.
Israel considers that the United Kingdom ‘reward’ to Hamas if he recognizes Palestine
The Israeli government rejected the declaration of the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to recognize the state of Palestine in September if before he does not take measures, including the high fire agreement, and assured that in this way London “reward” to Hamas and Mina the efforts to achieve a truce.
“The British Government’s position change at this time, after the French decision and internal political pressures, constitutes a reward for Hamas and harms efforts to achieve a high fire in Gaza and a framework for the release of hostages,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.
