British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has described the situation in Gaza as unacceptable during a recent session in the House of Commons.
He pointed out the serious issues facing civilians in the region and made it clear that the UK government communicates its concerns regularly to Israel and other involved countries.
Starmer pointed to the rising number of deaths among Palestinians, including those trying to receive humanitarian aid.
He also raised alarm over actions that may restrict where Palestinians can live, calling such moves wrong in principle.
The Prime Minister’s comments reflect growing international concerns over the worsening conditions in Gaza, where civilians continue to face shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.
Human rights groups and aid organisations have warned of a deepening humanitarian crisis as fighting and restrictions continue.
During his speech, Starmer restated the UK’s long-standing position in support of the creation of a Palestinian state.
However, he said that this recognition should happen when it would best support peace in the region.
This approach, according to the government, is aimed at creating lasting stability between both Palestinians and Israelis.
While the UK supports Israel’s right to defend itself, Starmer’s remarks show that London also wants to see strong steps taken to protect civilians and prevent further suffering in Gaza.
The government continues to work with international partners to find a way forward that includes both peace and security.
The UK has also maintained its call for a ceasefire and more access for humanitarian aid in the region.
These developments come amid rising international pressure for stronger diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing violence and move toward a political solution.
