JAKARTA - Britain will recognize the Palestinian state in September 2025 unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the terrible' situation in Gaza and meet other requirements.
This was conveyed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to his cabinet in a meeting on Tuesday, July 29.
"He (Keir Starmer) said that Britain would recognize the Palestinian state in September, before the United Nations (UNGA) General Assembly, unless the Israeli government took substantive steps to end the dire situation in Gaza, reached a ceasefire, insisting there would be no annexation in the West Bank, and committed to a long-term peace process that resulted in a Two-State Solution," the British government said in a statement.
"He reiterated that there is no equality between Israel and Hamas and that our demands on Hamas remain the same, namely they must release all hostages, sign a ceasefire, accept that they will not play a role in the Gaza government, and lay off arms," the statement continued.
Starmer made the decision after recalling his cabinet during the summer holiday on Tuesday to discuss a new peace plan that is being discussed with other European leaders and how to send more humanitarian aid to Gaza.
