[Gaza Crisis Escalates: Starmer Urgently Conveys Cabinet; Can Peace Plan Turn the Tide?] ⑴ British Prime Minister Starmer will convene an emergency cabinet meeting on Tuesday, July 29th, Beijing time. The central topic will be the situation in Gaza and a proposed peace plan. ⑵ The UK is in intensive consultations with France and Germany on this peace plan, and the three leaders held a telephone conference last week. ⑶ British Foreign Secretary Lamy will travel to New York on Tuesday to attend a UN conference aimed at garnering support for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. ⑷ Faced with the growing threat of hunger in the Gaza Strip, a growing number of MPs within Starmer's Labour Party have called on the government to recognize the State of Palestine as a way to put pressure on Israel. ⑸ Although successive British governments have stated that they will formally recognize the State of Palestine when the "time is right," they have never provided a specific timetable or clear conditions. ⑹ This emergency meeting and diplomatic action underscore the UK government's seriousness regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and its commitment to playing a role in promoting Middle East peace. ⑺ The market should pay attention to the progress of the peace plan, as it may have a significant impact on regional stability and geopolitical landscape.
