Sir Keir Starmer has declined calls from Members of Parliament to immediately recognise a Palestinian state, emphasizing that such recognition should be part of a broader plan for a two-state solution and lasting security for both Palestinians and Israelis. This comes as United States President Donald Trump arrives in the United Kingdom, with the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza drawing international attention. Starmer has signaled support for increased aid efforts, including air drops into Gaza, and announced that children needing specialist medical care will be evacuated to the United Kingdom. In a joint statement with leaders from France and Germany, the Prime Minister urged Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, while peace talks in Qatar have stalled amid continued violence and suffering.
