Starmer Convenes Emergency Cabinet on Gaza Peace Plan Following Trump Talks
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is set to convene an emergency UK cabinet meeting today, Tuesday, to address a new European-led peace plan for Gaza and accelerate humanitarian aid efforts. This crucial meeting follows Starmer’s discussions with US President Donald Trump in Scotland on Monday, where the proposed peace initiative was presented.
The urgent recall of cabinet ministers to Westminster comes amid escalating international pressure and dire warnings of mass starvation in Gaza. Downing Street confirmed the meeting, scheduled for 14:00 BST, will outline the next steps for the peace proposals, which were developed in collaboration with France and Germany following the recent collapse of US-led peace negotiations.
Discussions with Trump emphasized the immediate need for increased aid delivery into Gaza, with both leaders agreeing on the urgency to alleviate suffering. The UK’s push for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, alongside a pathway to a two-state solution, remains central to the diplomatic efforts. The Prime Minister also faces mounting domestic pressure to immediately recognize Palestinian statehood, a move supported by a significant number of MPs.
