More than 220 British MPs from nine different parties have sent a letter to Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy urging the UK to officially recognise the Palestinian state.
The bipartisan initiative, initiated by majority MP Sarah Champion, involves more than a third of the House of Commons and comes after French President Emmanuel Macron announced recognition in the face of the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza caused by Israel's aid blockade.
Thus, after France, Great Britain is also taking the initiative to recognize Palestine. A policy opposite to that of the US, which is not ready to recognize Palestine as a state.
