Record backing for Palestinian recognition heaps pressure on Starmer

A record number of 221 British MPs from all political parties have signed a letter urging the government to immediately recognise a Palestinian state.

The move adds even greater pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to take the step, after France on Thursday announced it would do so.

The MPs, from nine different parties, have called on the government to recognise the state of Palestine ahead of the UN conference on Monday co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.

Concrete steps needed to turn the ceasefire, so desperately needed, into a lasting peace
Keir Starmer

“While we appreciate the UK does not have it in its power to bring about a free and independent Palestine, UK recognition would have a significant impact due to our historic connections and our membership on the UN Security Council, so we urge you to take this step,” the MPs said.

The letter was co-ordinated by Labour MP Sarah Champion, chairwoman of the international development committee. Ms Champion said she accepted that recognition would not end the suffering in Gaza, but it was “an important symbolic step on the path to the two-state solution”.

“The broad support, from across the House, that my joint letter has received, shows clearly the strength of feeling from parliamentarians in favour of recognising the state of Palestine without delay,” she added.

Ms Champion argued that recognition would “send a powerful symbolic message” that British MPs support the rights of the Palestinian people “that they are not alone”.

Minutes after the letter was sent, Mr Starmer responded stating that while recognition of Palestine was one of the key steps to a lasting peace it had to be “part of a wider plan which ultimately results in a two-state solution and lasting security for Palestinians and Israelis”.

But he also went further than previously in his criticism of Israel stating that its “disproportionate military escalation in Gaza” was “indefensible”, as was the blocking of supplies leading to starvation in the enclave and extremist settler violence in the occupied West Bank.

Mr Starmer also condemned Hamas for continuing to hold Israeli hostages in the enclave.

Mr Starmer will meet President Donald Trump in Scotland on Monday and it is understood that Gaza will be top of the agenda.

He will be looking to get American support to put pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree a peace deal with Hamas, although that received a blow on Thursday after US envoy Steve Witkoff pulled out of the talks.

Israel has also recalled its team from the talks, though mediators Qatar and Egypt said on Friday that their efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza will continue.

Mr Starmer said he was “working on a pathway to peace in the region” and that would “set out the concrete steps needed to turn the ceasefire so desperately needed, into a lasting peace”.

The UK leader also on Friday initiated an emergency meeting of the E3 countries – France, Germany and Britain – that produced a joint statement calling on Israel to lift humanitarian aid restrictions on Gaza to allow the UN to “take action against starvation”.

Gaza withdrawal

Although the E3 also called on Israel to withdraw from Gaza, it did not go as far as some hoped in condemning its actions or moving towards recognition of a Palestinian state.

While France has said it would make that move in September, Germany, a strong ally of Israel, confirmed on Friday that it would not.

German recognition of Palestine would be “one of the final steps” in a Middle East peace settlement, said a statement from Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s office.

Can NRIs vote in the election?

Indians residing overseas cannot cast their ballot abroad

Non-resident Indians or NRIs can vote only by going to a polling booth in their home constituency

There are about 3.1 million NRIs living overseas

Indians have urged political parties to extend the right to vote to citizens residing overseas

A committee of the Election Commission of India approved of proxy voting for non-resident Indians

Proxy voting means that a person can authorise someone residing in the same polling booth area to cast a vote on his behalf.

This option is currently available for the armed forces, police and government officials posted outside India

A bill was passed in the lower house of India’s parliament or the Lok Sabha to extend proxy voting to non-resident Indians

However, this did not come before the upper house or Rajya Sabha and has lapsed

The issue of NRI voting draws a huge amount of interest in India and overseas

Over the past few months, Indians have received messages on mobile phones and on social media claiming that NRIs can cast their votes online

The Election Commission of India then clarified that NRIs could not vote online

The Election Commission lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police asking it to clamp down on the people spreading misinformation

How being social media savvy can improve your well being

Next time when procastinating online remember that you can save thousands on paying for a personal trainer and a gym membership simply by watching YouTube videos and keeping up with the latest health tips and trends.

As social media apps are becoming more and more consumed by health experts and nutritionists who are using it to awareness and encourage patients to engage in physical activity.

Elizabeth Watson, a personal trainer from Stay Fit gym in Abu Dhabi suggests that “individuals can use social media as a means of keeping fit, there are a lot of great exercises you can do and train from experts at home just by watching videos on YouTube”.

Norlyn Torrena, a clinical nutritionist from Burjeel Hospital advises her clients to be more technologically active “most of my clients are so engaged with their phones that I advise them to download applications that offer health related services”.

Torrena said that “most people believe that dieting and keeping fit is boring”.

However, by using social media apps keeping fit means that people are “modern and are kept up to date with the latest heath tips and trends”.

“It can be a guide to a healthy lifestyle and exercise if used in the correct way, so I really encourage my clients to download health applications” said Mrs Torrena.

People can also connect with each other and exchange “tips and notes, it’s extremely healthy and fun”.

Nepotism is the name of the game

Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan, is one of Bollywood’s most legendary screenwriters. Through his partnership with co-writer Javed Akhtar, Salim is credited with having paved the path for the Indian film industry’s blockbuster format in the 1970s. Something his son now rules the roost of. More importantly, the Salim-Javed duo also created the persona of the “angry young man” for Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, reflecting the angst of the average Indian. In choosing to be the ordinary man’s “hero” as opposed to a thespian in new Bollywood, Salman Khan remains tightly linked to his father’s oeuvre. Thanks dad.
