The UK's condemnation of Israel comes amid growing international pressure on the country, following the recent surge in violence in the region.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently stated that France would recognize Palestine, prompting an emergency call among European leaders to address the escalating crisis.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called for urgent action to halt the killings and allow aid into Gaza, emphasizing the need for a lasting peace between Palestinians and Israelis.

The Labour Party has also advocated for recognition of Palestine, citing it as a crucial step towards achieving a two-state solution.
