Palestine Labour MPs urge Lammy to recognise statehood
The Guardian
|July 12, 2025
Political correspondent
Nearly 60 Labour MPs have demanded the UK immediately recognise Palestine as a state, after Israel's defence minister announced plans to force all residents of Gaza into a camp on the ruins of Rafah.
The MPs, who include centrist and leftwing backbenchers, sent their letter to David Lammy on Thursday saying they believed Gaza was being ethnically cleansed.
They are urging the foreign secretary to take immediate steps to prevent the Israeli government from carrying out its Rafah plan, and to go further and recognise Palestinian statehood immediately.
The letter was sent just after the French president, Emmanuel Macron, made a similar plea at a joint press conference with Keir Starmer.
