Starmer Convenes Crisis Cabinet to Link Palestinian State Recognition to Gaza Ceasefire and Hostage Release

It ties formal recognition to a humanitarian truce alongside the release of Israeli hostages as part of a broader Western push for a two-state solution.

Der britische Premierminister Keir Starmer hat sein Regierungskabinett für eine Krisensitzung zur Situation im Gazastreifen aus dem Urlaub zurückgerufen. Besprochen werden soll die Möglichkeit einer Anerkennung eines palästinensischen Staates.

Die britische Regierung will im September einen Palästinenserstaat anerkennen, sollte Israel nicht "substanzielle Schritte" zur Verbesserung der Situation im Gazastreifen unternehmen.

Overview

  • On July 29, Prime Minister Keir Starmer recalled his cabinet from holiday for a crisis meeting on Gaza.
  • He has made UK recognition of a Palestinian state contingent on an enduring Gaza ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives.
  • Over the weekend, Starmer consulted with France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz and briefed US President Donald Trump on his emerging peace framework.
  • More than a third of British MPs have urged immediate recognition and humanitarian organizations warn of mass starvation in Gaza.
  • The plan aligns with France’s September recognition pledge but has drawn sharp criticism from the US government.
