THE Star star He will recall his cabinet from his summer vacation to discuss the situation in Gaza, the Financial Times writes today, as the pressure on the labor government is intensifying to recognize Britain A Palestinian state.
The newspaper said Kir Starmer’s move to convene the cabinet in Britain next week was made on Sunday by Downing Street.
The British Parliament and the Council of Ministers are currently on a summer vacation until September 1st.
On Friday, Starmer said the British government would recognize a Palestinian state only in the context of a peacekeeping agreement arising from negotiations, frustrating many in the Labor Party who would like to follow the example of France.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that his country would recognize a Palestinian state in September, which has sparked strong reactions to Israel and the United States.
More than 220 MPs from all parties, about one -third of the members of the House of Commons, in a letter to Starmer, called on him to recognize a Palestinian state.
Successive British governments have stated that they will officially recognize a Palestinian state when the time comes, without ever setting a timetable or defining the conditions.
Starmer’s approach to the issue is complicated by the arrival in Scotland on Friday by US President Donald Trump, with whom he has created warm relations. In terms of foreign policy, Britain has rarely deviated from the United States.
