British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will convene a cabinet meeting next week, a government source said on Sunday, most likely to discuss the situation in Gaza after coming under growing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state.

The meeting on Monday at Trump’s Turnberry golf resort comes as European countries express growing alarm at the situation in Gaza.

The findings, by the think tank More in Common, revealed that 29 percent of respondents sympathised more with the Palestinian side in the war, compared to 15 percent who sympathised more with Israel. This marks an 11-point rise in support for Palestinians since November 2023, just weeks after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October.

The leaders of Britain, France, and Germany have demanded Israel allow unrestricted aid into Gaza to end a “humanitarian catastrophe."

The recall comes after Starmer said the British government would recognise a Palestinian state only as part of a negotiated peace deal.

Israel rejects a joint statement which condemns the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians".

Facing growing international condemnation over Palestinians starving to death in Gaza, Israel’s military is making a series of moves that it says will allow more aid into the enclave. Follow for live updates.

In a statement, David Lammy said that while the announcement was “essential but long overdue,” more action was needed to meet the needs of people in Gaza.

A joint statement by 28 countries including Britain, Japan and Canada is calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. They say that the 21-month war “must end now."

British premier says Israel’s decision to allow aid drops came too late but vows to do everything possible to get supplies into Gaza through new route
