"British officials question whether Emmanuel Macron will proceed with recognizing Palestine next month, although it could press the UK to follow suit."
"France considers recognizing Palestine at a UN conference, but needs careful handling to avoid accusations of supporting Hamas and to stabilize Palestinian governance."

If France moves forward with recognition during a UN conference in June, it could compel the UK to reassess its position, despite ongoing Israeli concerns over repercussions.

Prominent voices within the UK government and opposition are increasingly vocal regarding the need for a principled stance amid calls for humanitarian support for Gaza.
