“Once Trump leaves, the British government will recognize a Palestinian state this weekend.”

On the evening of September 16th, local time, US President Trump and his wife arrived in the UK to start his second state visit to the UK.

But just as Trump is immersed in the warm welcome given to him by the British royal family, the British government is brewing something big.

The Times on September 17 that after Trump’s trip to Britain ended, British Prime Minister Stammer will officially announce his recognition of the status of the Palestinian state this weekend.The United States has previously strongly opposed the allies’ recognition of the Palestinian state, saying the move “will reward Hamas.”

Reuters said the British Foreign Ministry has not immediately responded to the request for comment.

According to the report, Britain is expected to push forward this move before the UN General Assembly in new york next week.

France, Canada and Australia have also announced that they will recognize the Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly.

The report mentions that the differences between Britain and the United States on this issue are obvious.

British Foreign Minister Evelyn Cooper said earlier that Israel’s military attack on Gaza City was “extremely reckless and outrageous,” saying it would “only bring more bloodshed, kill more innocent civilians, and endanger the remaining hostages.”

However, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, who is accompanying Trump’s visit to the UK, has just returned from Israel and has expressed his support for Israel as always. He opposes recognition of the Palestinian state by nations and claims that this move will make the prospects for peace more dim, “because it will encourage these groups (Hamas) and Israel will counteract.”

In July, Stammer outlined Britain’s plan to recognize the Palestinian state, saying that the UK would recognize the Palestinian state unless Israel achieves a ceasefire, pledges a “two-state plan” and explicitly does not annex the West Bank.

The Times stated that given what Israel has done, it is almost inevitable for the Starmer government to recognize the Palestinian state. On the 16th local time, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry stated that there were reasonable grounds to conclude that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Meanwhile, pressure is also increasing within the ruling Labour Party in the UK. So far, one-third of cabinet members have urged Stammer to recognize the Palestinian state, and more than 130 Labour lawmakers have signed letters in support of the move.

“Now is the time to act,” Stammer reiterated earlier, saying that given the continued deterioration of the situation in Gaza, the “two-state solution” is threatened and therefore acknowledges the need for a Palestinian state “becoming unprecedented urgency.”

Earlier this year, the British government imposed sanctions on senior members of the Israeli government after describing the military expansion in Gaza as “intolerable.”

In May, the British government announced sanctions on Israeli far-right activists, Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gevil and Treasury Minister Bezarel Smootrich, imposing asset freezes and travel bans on the two.The British government accused them of inciting violent attacks by settlers on Palestinian communities and using “a rumored extremist language.”

Trump arrived in the United Kingdom with his wife Melania on the evening of 16 local time and began his second state visit to the United Kingdom. Trump said the main purpose of the visit was to meet with King Charles III of Great Britain, “he perfectly represented the country and was a gentleman who was very friendly.”

Meanwhile, in order to strengthen relations between the United Kingdom and the United States, the British government has prepared for the visit. King Charles III, Prince William and more than 1,500 soldiers will hold a welcome ceremony at Windsor Castle on 17th to welcome Trump with a solemn tribute.

"King Charles rolled out the red carpet to show kindness to Trump." The Wall Street Journal published on September 15th that as Britain's economic and military strength continues to decline, the soft power of the royal family has become the "trump card" that the British government relies on. At a time when the "special relationship" between Britain and the United States is becoming increasingly unbalanced, Britain urgently needs to use the courtesy of the royal family to maintain the goodwill of American leaders.

But a recent poll by Ipsos showed that more and more British citizens questioned the “special relations” established by Britain and the United States after the Second World War, with only about 36% of respondents saying there were “special relations” between the two countries.
