Who PM was really trying to echo with 'island of strangers' speech
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 Sir Keir Starmer is getting used to falling out with some of his MPs over policy decisions - be it on the winter fuel allowance, his approach to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza or welfare cuts.
n a major policy shift, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has signaled that Britain may officially recognize the State of Palestine as early as September if Israel fails to make tangible progress toward a two-state solution. The announcement comes amid growing international pressure over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and mounting criticism of Israel's military actions.

The UK will recognise the state of Palestine in September unless Israel takes “substantive steps” to end the “appalling situation in Gaza”, Sir Keir Starmer has said. The UK and its allies need to see “at least 500 trucks entering Gaza every day” to deliver aid, the Prime Minister added. Report by Gluszczykm.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage allegedly showing Hamas fighters taking control of aid containers in Gaza. The IDF accuses Hamas of looting humanitarian supplies meant for civilians. Hamas denies the allegation, claiming its personnel ensure secure aid distribution. The video follows a New York Times report where Israeli officials admitted no proof exists of systematic aid theft. With global pressure mounting—from the U.S. to Europe—the war of narratives over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues to intensify.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

Israel faces mounting global condemnation over its military campaign in Gaza, accused of using starvation tactics and blocking aid. Despite backlash, Prime Minister Netanyahu has doubled down, vowing to continue operations until Hamas is fully eliminated. With over 20,000 Hamas fighters reportedly still active and Israeli casualties rising, the war grinds on. Europe and human rights groups have urged Israel and the U.S. to halt the blockade, but Netanyahu, speaking from Ramon Air Base, insists on seeing through what he calls Israel's “war goals.” Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens.

Hamas fighters scored another blow to Israeli forces in Gaza, killing two soldiers from the elite Golani Brigade during an operation in Khan Younis. The troops were inside an armored vehicle hit by an explosive. The IDF confirmed the deaths, raising its combat toll to 462 since October 2023. Hamas, reportedly reorganized, is deploying deadly tactics using tunnel-based explosives. Amid rising losses, criticism mounts over Israel’s military strategy, mental health crisis, and the recall of PTSD-affected troops.

U.S. President Donald Trump sharply calls on Israeli Prime Minister “Bibi” Netanyahu to act immediately as Gaza faces a devastating starvation crisis. More than 100 humanitarian groups warn of mass starvation, yet Israel denies the severity while maintaining strict aid restrictions. Trump puts part of the blame on Hamas, accusing them of hardening their stance and stalling hostage negotiations, leaving civilians to suffer. Is this a crisis ignored or a political chess game with innocent lives at stake? Watch the full breakdown of the escalating Gaza humanitarian disaster and the urgent calls for action.
