UK PM Starmer recalls cabinet to discuss Gaza peace plan

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hold an emergency cabinet to discuss the situation in Gaza and a proposed peace plan as he comes under mounting pressure from his own party to recognise a Palestinian state, Reuters reports.

In a meeting with US President Donald Trump in Scotland on Monday, Starmer discussed the need for a ceasefire in Gaza and what he called the “revolting” humanitarian crisis.

Starmer has not shared details of the plan, but over the weekend he compared the proposals to the “coalition of the willing”, the international effort to support Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire in its war with Russia.

Starmer’s spokesman said he would discuss the plan with other international allies and countries in the Middle East.
