Britain could recognise a Palestinian State as early as September if a new ceasefire plan helps to end the violence and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Sir Keir Starmer will host an urgent Cabinet meeting this afternoon as he seeks to set out a pathway to peace after a helpful intervention yesterday by Donald Trump.
The president criticised Israel, saying that reports and images of starvation in the battered enclave were 'real' despite Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence that there was none.
Sir Keir shared plans he is working on with France and Germany to 'bring about a lasting peace' with Trump when they met in Scotland yesterday, Downing Street said.
If there is an end to the fighting, Britain could join France in recognising a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, the Times reported.
