A British-Israeli woman held hostage by Hamas has said Sir Keir Starmer is "not standing on the right side of history" with his pledge to recognise a Palestinian state.
Emily Damari, who was released in January after being held by Hamas for more than 15 months, said the UK prime minister "risks rewarding terror".
Sir Keir announced on Tuesday that the UK would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel met certain conditions, including agreeing a ceasefire and reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the UK's stance rewarded "Hamas's monstrous terrorism".
The UK is among a growing number of countries to voice concerns over conditions in Gaza, where UN-backed experts have said a famine scenario is currently playing out.
