125 UK Lawmakers Write Prime Minister Starmer, Call For Recognition Of Palestinian State


Over a hundred members of Parliament are demanding that the United Kingdom's Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, recognise Palestinian statehood.

According to Sky News, 125 MPs have signed a mass cross-party letter urging him to take the step.

The letter is reportedly being organised by Labour backbencher Sarah Champion, who also serves as Chair of the International Development Committee.

They write: "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."

SaharaReporters reported that France announced on Thursday its decision to recognise the statehood of Palestine. Emmanuel Macron, in a post on his official X handle, noted that the country’s formal announcement will be made in September.

"Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine," Macron stated.

He added that the formal announcement will be made at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Macron stressed the urgent need to end the war in Gaza, provide humanitarian assistance, and secure the region, calling for the demilitarisation of Hamas and the rebuilding of Gaza.

"The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population," he wrote. "We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarisation of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza."

He emphasised that the future Palestinian state must be committed to peace and coexistence, with full recognition of Israel.

"And finally, we must build the State of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarisation and fully recognising Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region," Macron added.

He underscored the desire for peace among the French population, stating, "The French people want peace in the Middle East. It is our responsibility — as French citizens, alongside Israelis, Palestinians, and our European and international partners — to prove that peace is possible."

Macron also revealed that he had communicated directly with the President of the Palestinian Authority to express his intentions.

France’s decision brings the number of countries recognizing the Palestinian state to at least 146. However, the United States, a long-time ally of Israel, has notably withheld such recognition.

The decision by France has been met with strong condemnation from both Israel and the United States, who are actively involved in the ongoing conflict with Palestine.

The US made its position known in a post by its ambassador to France, Charles Kushner. He described the move as a blow to peace.

"France’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state is a gift to Hamas and a blow to peace. I’ve just arrived, and I’m deeply disappointed. @EmmanuelMacron – I hope to change your mind before September. Free the hostages. Focus on a ceasefire. This is the path to lasting peace," he posted on his official X handle.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared Israel's position on his official X handle.

"We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October 7 massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became.

"A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it. Let’s be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel."

If Europe entirely agree to Palestinian State while America doesn't, that's mean nothing will happen. America has shown the rest of the world they are nothing...

The population of Christians in Israel is small compared to Zionist

They force democracy on the whole world. But now Majority wants a Palestinian state......all of a sudden, they dont know what democracy is anymore, when it doesn't serve their interest.

It’s just a mask.
Behind it is selective consent , you can only win if you agree with the system’s interests.

“They don’t care if you scream. they only care if you obey.”


Palestinians are not denied their state because the world opposes it.
They’re denied because power prefers imbalance.
A free Palestine would disrupt the balance that fuels weapons, fear, and control.

Let’s stop pretending.
Give them their state. Give them their dignity.
Or stop calling it democracy.
Re: 125 UK Lawmakers Write PM Starmer, Call For Recognition Of Palestinian State by Mccullum:
The US and Israeli kept mentioning October's incidents but refusing to acknowledge atrocious acts of Israeli government forces since 1948 till when terroristic act of HAMAS happened.

Many European countries have seen the evil plans of Israel and America against Palestinians. Seeing the Palestinian land as potential land to confiscates in future.

Surely, Palestine will gain its sovereignty soon or later.

The attack by Hamas in October was all a setup. Natanyanhu got intelligence Hamas operations before the D-day. He was already unpopular and was facing corruption charges at home. He needed a master plan to distract the Israel, he created the war. Boom! He allowed Hamas attack on Israel soil. He baited them so he could gain worldwide symphaty and the have a reason to go to war. His plan worked, it so it seemed.
Under his regime, Israel has committed the worst genocide in recent history. Our God is fair and just. Natanyanhu would not go unpunished.

This is just like fighting for Natasha's return to the Senate with the condition that she apologises when she said she wouldn't. You recognised a demilitarised Palestine, which to them doesn't make sense.
Palestinians were not looking for a State. They are asking to erase Israel. The right of return of Palestinians in refugee camps across the Middle East will be squashed if Palestine is unilaterally recognised. This cosmetic exercise is inconsequential.

UK would always find it hard to support a thing like this outside of their borders but if they do this time, it would be a turning point.

They can repair their stinking colonial stigma and past if they look themselves in the mirror and become honest. Germany has done that.
Re: 125 UK Lawmakers Write PM Starmer, Call For Recognition Of Palestinian State by Helinuse: 7:28am On Jul 26, 2025
The Palestinians themselves are just on the sidelines, laughing at the raw woke folks, knowing that they don’t know exactly what they, the Palestinians really want.

Deep within the Palestinians mind, if you can give us a “Palestine,” we will also go for the whole Osrael. If you can give us the whole Israel, we also go for France. If you can give us France, we will also go for the whole of Europe. 🤗
