Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Labour MP Urges UK to Recognise Palestinian State
Caption: Labour MP Urges UK to Recognise Palestinian State. Emily Thornberry, senior Labour MP and chair of the foreign affairs committee, is calling on the UK to formally recognise Palestine. Her call comes amid growing support before a major UN conference this month. Nearly 60 Labour MPs support Thornberry's push, increasing pressure on the UK Foreign Office to act. French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed commitment to a two-state solution during a recent visit to the UK. France and Saudi Arabia are likely to officially recognise Palestine at the upcoming New York UN summit. Thornberry urges tougher UK action on Israeli settlements and closer US cooperation for a political solution. The UN summit, delayed by the Israel-Iran war, remains central to global diplomatic efforts for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
