Background
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated dramatically, with over 53,000 Palestinians reported killed and nearly half a million facing starvation due to prolonged blockades on essential supplies.
Recognising Palestine would reaffirm the UK’s commitment to justice, equality, and international law, and would contribute to a viable and lasting peace in the Middle East.
