British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will convene a cabinet meeting next week, a government source said on Sunday, most likely to discuss the situation in Gaza after coming under growing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state.

The findings, by the think tank More in Common, revealed that 29 percent of respondents sympathised more with the Palestinian side in the war, compared to 15 percent who sympathised more with Israel. This marks an 11-point rise in support for Palestinians since November 2023, just weeks after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October.

The leaders of Britain, France, and Germany have demanded Israel allow unrestricted aid into Gaza to end a “humanitarian catastrophe."

LONDON (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will recall his cabinet from their summer break to discuss the situation in Gaza, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, amid growing pressure on the Labour government to recognise a Palestinian state.

Israel rejects a joint statement which condemns the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians".

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot spoke with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation on Sunday about aid to Gaza and what remains of Iran's nuclear program.

Britain's immediate priority is alleviating suffering in Gaza and securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a cabinet minister said on Friday, even as Prime Minister Keir Starmer comes under growing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state.

The Isle of Man has added its voice to mounting calls from the UK and United Nations for humanitarian intervention in Gaza. The Chief Minister Alfred Cannan wrote to Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood following discussions with the Council of Ministers.
