The recall comes after Starmer said the British government would recognise a Palestinian state only as part of a negotiated peace deal
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will convene a cabinet meeting next week, a government source said on Sunday, most likely to discuss the situation in Gaza after coming under growing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state.
The Financial Times newspaper, which initially reported the story, said ministers, currently in a summer recess until September 1, would reconvene to discuss Gaza.
Starmer’s office did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
More than 220 members of parliament in the UK, mostly Labour members representing about a third of the House of Commons, wrote to Starmer on Friday urging him to recognise a Palestinian state.
