A majority of MPs on the Commons foreign affairs committee in the UK advocate for immediate recognition of the state of Palestine. This call comes amid warnings of potential mass starvation in Gaza and follows France's intention to officially recognize Palestine. The committee argues that statehood is an inalienable right and should not be conditional, urging action before the situation changes further. While Labour and Lib Dem members support this stance, two Conservative MPs insist recognition should only occur in the context of a broader political solution to the Middle East conflict.
The UK should immediately recognise the state of Palestine, according to a majority of MPs on the Commons foreign affairs committee. The report argues that statehood is an 'inalienable right' that should be unconditional.
The government cannot continue to wait for the perfect time because experience shows that there will never be a perfect time. The committee urges recognition while there is still a state to acknowledge.
