Pressure builds on PM to recognise Palestine state immediately
South Wales Evening Post
|July 26, 2025
SIR Keir Starmer is facing pressure to immediately recognise Palestine as a state amid growing calls from MPs and a commitment from France.
-
The Prime Minister condemned the “unspeakable and indefensible” humanitarian conditions in Gaza ahead of an emergency call with German and French leaders.
He also said statehood was the “inalienable right” of the Palestinian people but maintained that a ceasefire should come first.
Sir Keir said: “I will hold an emergency call with E3 partners tomorrow, where we will discuss what we can do urgently to stop the killing and get people the food they desperately need, while pulling together all the steps necessary to build a lasting peace.”
