Minister denies Palestine pledge is gesture politics
Birmingham Mail
|July 31, 2025
A CABINET minister has rejected the idea that Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to recognise a Palestinian state is gesture politics, as the Prime Minister faced pushback from Israel over his decision.
-
Heidi Alexander told the BBC the decision is “about the Palestinian people”.
Sir Keir announced on Tuesday the UK could take the step of recognising statehood in September, ahead of a major UN gathering. The UK will refrain from doing so only if Israel allows more aid into Gaza, stops annexing land in the West Bank, agrees to a ceasefire, and signs up to a long-term peace process over the next two months. The move has been criticised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who claimed it “rewards Hamas's monstrous terrorism”.
