London mayor Sadiq Khan has publicly called on Keir Starmer to formally recognise a Palestinian state, warning that ongoing violence in Gaza could leave nothing left to recognise. His intervention comes as Labour ministers and other political figures increase pressure on the Prime Minister to take stronger action against Israel, following reports of Israeli forces firing on Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid. Foreign Secretary David Lammy has condemned Israel's actions and signaled further sanctions if a ceasefire is not reached, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting echoed calls for recognition of Palestine. International leaders, including France's Emmanuel Macron, have also urged the UK to support Palestinian statehood, arguing it is essential for peace in the region. The situation remains tense as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with mounting civilian casualties and growing demands for immediate action from the UK government.
