EMBARGO: 22:30 Sunday 27 July 2025

Commenting ahead of Keir Starmer’s meeting with Donald Trump today [Monday], where the PM is expected to raise the situation in Gaza, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said:

“Starmer must urge Trump to use his influence with Netanyahu to end the unconscionable suffering in Gaza through securing a ceasefire and getting much needed aid in. But it’s clear that only proper recognition the of Palestinian state by the international community will finally make way to a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

“The Prime Minister should make clear to Trump that the UK will lead the way in recognising the state of Palestine."
