The recall comes after Starmer said the British government would recognise a Palestinian state only as part of a negotiated peace deal.

LONDON (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will recall his cabinet from their summer break to discuss the situation in Gaza, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, amid growing pressure on the Labour government to recognise a Palestinian state.

Sir Keir will convene the cabinet in the coming week, while Parliament is in recess, to discuss the ongoing situation in Gaza. It comes after he confirmed his government was working with Jordan to drop aid into the territory and was "urgently accelerating efforts" to evacuate children who needed critical medical assistance to the UK.
