Published: 7/30/2025

UK announces plan to recognize Palestinian state in September unless Gaza crisis ends. Foreign Secretary David Lammy aims to impact situation on the ground in Gaza and calls for a ceasefire to alleviate Palestinian suffering. While the decision has sparked criticism from opposition parties, government officials emphasize the need for maximum impact in the peace process. Dame Emily Thornberry welcomes the move as a step towards a long-term two-state solution, urging global support for restoring aid and medical supplies in Gaza.
