UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hold an emergency cabinet meeting on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Gaza and a proposed peace plan. The UK is consulting with France and Germany on this plan, following a phone call among the leaders of the three countries last week. UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly will attend a United Nations meeting in New York on Tuesday, urging support for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. As people in Gaza face the threat of hunger, an increasing number of MPs in Starmer's Labour Party are calling for him to recognize the State of Palestine, thereby applying pressure on Israel. Previous UK governments have stated that they would formally recognize the State of Palestine when the time is right, but have never set a timeline or specified necessary conditions
