UK Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer and Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy have condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of a Palestinian state after the Middle East war, emphasizing that Palestinian statehood is an inalienable right and essential for a secure settlement. Starmer reiterated Labour's historic policy of recognizing the State of Palestine and supporting a two-state solution. Lammy branded Netanyahu's stance as unacceptable and indicative of ongoing occupation and siege. Labour MP Gareth Thomas also expressed his pride in voting for Palestinian statehood in the House of Commons, aligning with the party's stance.
