France is calling on the European Union to pressure Israel to agree to a two-state solution with the Palestinians.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the U.K. will recognize Palestine as a state at the U.N. General Assembly in September unless Israel takes several steps to work towards peace in Gaza.

Britain announced on Tuesday it was prepared to recognise a Palestinian state in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the "appalling situation" in Gaza and meets other conditions.

LONDON (AP) — The U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, allows the U.N. to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday.

Trump on Friday dismissed Macron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state — a gentler response than sharp condemnation from Marco Rubio and other top Republicans, who blasted the move.

France's decision to recognise Palestine comes amid European anger towards the ongoing war in Gaza and Israeli actions in the Palestinian territory.

Dozens of ministers gathered at a United Nations conference on Monday to urge that the world work toward a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, but the U.S. and Israel boycotted the event.
