LONDON : In a televised address on Tuesday, Starmer emphasised that the recognition of Palestine is intended to revive the two-state solution and push for a lasting peace process.
“I have always said that we will recognise a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process at the moment of maximum impact for the two-state solution,” Starmer stated. “With that solution now under threat, this is the moment to act.”
The British government also confirmed it has begun air-dropping aid into Gaza, with the first deliveries containing £500,000 worth of life-saving supplies. “The Palestinian people have endured terrible suffering in Gaza because of a catastrophic failure of aid,” Starmer said. “We see starving babies, children too weak to stand — the suffering must end.”
