Recognise Palestine as a state immediately

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We urgently call upon our government to join France and 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations in recognising Palestine as a state immediately. This is a crucial step towards sovereignty for the Palestinian people and peace in the surrounding region.

The population of Gaza are dying in their thousands in a man-made humanitarian catastrophe. Urgent action is required.
Following 221 MPs across 9 parties who expressed their support for UK recognition of a Palestinian state on the 25th July 2025. We, the British people, also wish to demonstrate that we fully back recognising Palestine's statehood.
