Starmer emphasized the goal of ensuring Israel&#8217;s security while granting Palestinians a viable and sovereign nation. This move follows French President Emmanuel Macron&#8217;s similar declaration to recognize Palestinian statehood and marks a significant development in Western support for Palestine.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">UK will recognize Palestinian state if Israel does not take steps to end Gaza conflict<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2183375\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-kingdom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">United Kingdom<\/a> is preparing to recognize a sovereign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Palestinian\">Palestinian<\/a> state if Israel does not make progress in ending the conflict in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/live\/cdrkj810plvt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">announced the surprise decision<\/a> on Tuesday in a written handout at a meeting of his Cabinet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3484838\/china-ceo-monk-shi-yongxin-removed-shaolin-monastery-illicit-relations-embezzlement\/\">China&#8217;s &#8216;CEO monk&#8217; removed from Shaolin Monastery over alleged illicit relations, embezzlement<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3484898\/three-fifths-americans-disapprove-israel-gaza-war\/\">Three-fifths of Americans disapprove of Israel&#8217;s war in Gaza: Poll<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3484843\/donald-tusk-poland-russia-sabotage\/\">Poland detained 32 people accused of working with Russia for acts of sabotage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The U.K. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3482183\/uk-germany-france-gaza-call-macron-recognize-palestinian-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"will join France\">will join France<\/a> in extending recognition at the September meeting of the United Nations General Assembly &ldquo;unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a two-state solution.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">British Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks with the media during a meeting with President Donald Trump at the Trump Turnberry golf course in Turnberry, Scotland, Monday, July 28, 2025.
