The United Kingdom Government will approve the State of Palestine in September, before the UN General Assembly, if Israel fails to meet a number of conditions, including taking steps to end the "Gaza disaster", establishing a ceasefire and not annexing the West Bank.
Following the urgent meeting of the Council of Ministers, the BritishPrime Minister, Keir Starmer , has urged Israel to commit itself to a long-term peace process that will enable a two-state solution.
"The United Kingdom will recognize the State of Palestine before the United Nations General Assembly in September if the Israeli Government does not take essential steps to end the terrible situation in Gaza, does not agree to a ceasefire and undertakes to achieve lasting peace in the long term, reviving the vision of a two-state solution," Starmer said.
The British Prime Minister has also demanded that "the UN continue to provide assistance and make it clear that there will be no annexation in the West Bank." "This ceasefire must be permanent and give way to a broader peace plan that we are implementing with our international partners," he said.
FrenchPresident Emmanuel Macron publicly announced last week that France will recognize Palestine as a state at the UN General Assembly in September, "faithful to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East," joining other Western states that have just taken this step, such as Spain.
