More Than 100 British MPs Urge Keir Starmer to Recognize State of Palestine

London – zaytoun News

More than 100 British members of parliament (MPs) have called on British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to immediately recognize the state of Palestine.

This came in a letter organized by Labour backbencher Sarah Champion, who is also the chair of Westminster’s International Development Committee.

The letter said that the British recognition of Palestine would be particularly powerful given its role as the author of the Balfour Declaration and the former Mandatory Power in Palestine.

“Since 1980 we have backed a two-state solution. Such a recognition would give that position substance as well as living up to a historic responsibility we have to the people under that Mandate,” read the letter.

Meanwhile, President Mahmoud Abbas of the State of Palestine praised the statements made by British Prime Minister, in which he stressed the severity of the humanitarian suffering and famine endured by the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and his call to immediately stop the bloodbath and deliver urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza.

President Abbas also valued Prime Minister Starmer’s remarks that “the establishment of the State of Palestine is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people, and that a ceasefire will put us on the path toward the recognition of a Palestinian state and the implementation of the two-state solution, which guarantees peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis.”

Abbas stated that, based on this principled stance consistent with international legitimacy and international law, “we call on the Government of the United Kingdom to officially recognize the State of Palestine immediately, as this would constitute a historic step that reinforces Britain’s moral and legal commitments and paves the way for a just and lasting peace in the region.”

In this context, Abbas calls on all countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to do so, stressing the importance of Palestine obtaining full membership in the United Nations.
