France, UK Poised to Recognise Palestine at Upcoming UN Summit
Rabat – The United States has reportedly issued private warnings to the United Kingdom and France, urging them not to move forward with unilaterally recognizing the Palestinian state at an upcoming UN summit, according to an exclusive by Middle East Eye. The conference, which will be co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, is set to take place from June 17–20 in New York and will focus on efforts to revive the long-stalled two-state solution. France is reportedly planning to declare recognition of Palestinian statehood at the summit and has been actively encouraging the UK to do the same — an initiative that British officials appear increasingly open to, according to French reports. Characterized by media sources as a 'point of no return' for the two-state framework, the summit is expected to culminate in a binding roadmap, with concrete timelines for Palestinian statehood and potential punitive measures for those who obstruct its implementation. Officials within the British Foreign Office told MEE that the US has conveyed its opposition to this potential move, cautioning both nations against formal recognition and pushing them to step back from any such commitments — warnings delivered in spite of growing pressure from Arab governments and various global stakeholders calling for decisive recognition of Palestinian sovereignty. Chris Doyle, director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding, insisted that Washington lacks any valid justification to intervene in a decision that lies within the sovereign rights of the UK and France. He maintained that recognizing Palestine would affirm its legitimate claim to nationhood and elevate it to equal standing in any future peace process. During preliminary consultations at the United Nations and at a June 1 meeting in Amman, Arab foreign ministers made clear that the success of the upcoming summit would hinge on formal recognition by influential global powers. A number of Arab officials condemned Israel's decision to block the high-level delegation — including representatives from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar — from meeting with Palestinian leadership in Ramallah. The delegation described Israel's obstruction as a 'blatant violation' that illustrates 'the arrogance of the Israeli government' and its continued 'disregard for international law.' This incident followed Israeli gunfire directed at Arab diplomats in the West Bank just days earlier, with Israel labelling the delegation's presence as 'provocative' and accusing the Palestinian Authority of failing to denounce the events of October 7 — while simultaneously amplifying its narrative of victimhood nearly two years into its live-streamed campaign of genocide in Gaza. Such a state would undoubtedly become a terrorist entity in the heart of the Land of Israel,' claimed an Israeli official, declaring that Israel would refuse to cooperate with what it sees as a threat to its existence. Should France and the UK proceed, they would become the first G7 members to officially recognize Palestine — a move that would significantly alter Israel's global diplomatic posture. Israel's threats Israel has already warned of serious consequences, with Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer threatening annexation of parts of the West Bank in response. In line with these threats, the Israeli government recently authorized the creation of 22 new illegal settlements in the West Bank, claiming the move was designed to 'strengthen our hold on Judea and Samaria'— a euphemism that attempts to repackage ethnic cleansing and land theft as strategic sovereignty. Simultaneously, Israeli has revived its highly contentious E1 settlement plan — long denounced for undermining the territorial contiguity of a Palestinian state. The project risks severing East Jerusalem from the West Bank and severing the territory itself. Earlier in May, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich confirmed the government's intent to approve the construction of 3,412 housing units in the E1 zone in the coming months. The reactivation of the E1 plan has reignited debate in the UK about recognising Palestine, particularly given that Britain had signalled as far back as 2014 that it might do so if Israel advanced the E1 project. Frustration continues to mount in Britain and across Europe, as Israel's aggressive expansion of settlements — and its blatant defiance of international law — shatter any remaining illusions of a genuine two-state outcome. While framed as a peaceful and just breakthrough, the two-state solution is also widely controversial as it legitimizes Israel's occupation and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians since 1948. This framework offers a fragmented and non-sovereign state in only 22% of historic Palestine, and denies millions of refugees their right to return – falsely presenting Israel and Palestine as equal negotiating partners, despite the vast power imbalance and ongoing military occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

UK Delegation Meets Morocco's FM Following Historic Backing of Autonomy Plan
Rabat – Moroccan Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita hosted in Rabat today members of the British parliamentary delegation, with the visit coming on the heels of a significant shift in the UK's position on the Western Sahara dispute. The delegation, representing the UK group at the Inter-Parliamentary Union and led by Fabian Hamilton, held talks with Bourita following British Foreign Secretary David Lammy's visit to Morocco on Sunday. During his visit, the UK's top diplomat officially announced his government's support for Morocco's autonomy initiative as the only credible basis for resolving the dispute over Western Sahara. Today's meeting reflects growing diplomatic momentum between the two countries, coming shortly after Lammy stated that the UK now considers Morocco's autonomy proposal 'serious and credible' and a viable solution to the decades-long dispute. Yesterday, Hamilton talked extensively to Moroccan media about the significance of the UK's recent decision to support Morocco's Autonomy plan. He pointed out a growing consensus among the world's top powers: 'We now have three out of the five permanent members of the Security Council supporting the autonomy plan.'

Discussions reportedly focused on reinforcing legislative dialogue between Moroccan and British lawmakers, in line with broader efforts to deepen political, economic, and security collaboration. Observers view the visit as part of a broader British diplomatic push to connect with key partners in North Africa, particularly as London seeks to recalibrate its foreign policy post-Brexit. The UK's endorsement of the Moroccan plan represents a diplomatic win for Rabat, which has long lobbied international actors to support its autonomy initiative as a final settlement to the Western Sahara dispute. The British delegation's visit also signals a continuation of the strategic dialogue between the two countries, which have expanded cooperation in sectors ranging from trade and investment to education and renewable energy. As diplomatic activity intensifies, Morocco's foreign ministry has signaled that it expects further engagements with UK officials in the coming months.
