The United Kingdom is talking with France and Saudi Arabia about recognising Palestine as a state later this year, the Foreign affairs minister of its left-wing government has revealed. British Foreign Minister David Lammy told a House of Lords committee this week that the government is in discussions with France and Saudi Arabia to recognise Palestine as a state. The declaration would be part of a push to keep the notion of a two-state solution alive and would likely be made at a New York conference in June to be hosted by France and the Saudis, he said. The military presented the plan for the extended offensive in Gaza on Friday, and then the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved it. The plan will require a significant mobilization. Warnings have previously come from Israeli sources that the military may carry out a large-scale offensive aimed at destroying Hamas if no agreement on hostages is reached. The military has announced that the most important thing is to get the hostages back. Hamas took away 251 people from Israel in connection with the terrorist attack on 7 October 2023, which became the starting shot for the Gaza War. 58 people in the hostages are still in Gaza, of whom 34 are believed to no longer be alive.
