Leaders of Britain, Kuwait, and the UAE hold consultations on Trump’s Gaza plan.
A spokesman for the British Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement saying that Keir Starmer spoke with Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, the Crown Prince of Kuwait, this morning and emphasized that London would work closely with regional allies, including Kuwait, to implement the Trump plan. He claimed that the UK felt a special responsibility to end the conflict in Gaza and create a sustainable path to peace.
The Kuwaiti Crown Prince also praised the UK’s move to recognize the state of Palestine, stating that this decision, along with similar positions by Canada and Australia, “has kept alive the possibility of achieving a two-state solution.” The two sides also discussed expanding bilateral relations in the field of trade and investment and agreed to continue close contacts in the coming days.
The spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office also added that Keir Starmer spoke by phone with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates. At the beginning of the call, the British Prime Minister described Trump’s plan as “a practical solution to end the conflict in Gaza,” which he said has the support of the Zionist regime, regional allies, and partners beyond the region.
According to the statement, the UAE President appreciated the British move to recognize the state of Palestine in the call, and the two sides agreed that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) should also accept the terms of Trump’s plan to provide a sustainable path to peace. The conversation also emphasized bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
In recent days, Trump has presented a 20-point plan to end the Gaza war, which emphasizes a ceasefire, the exchange of hostages (Israeli prisoners), and the formation of a Palestinian transitional government. Some European leaders initially welcomed the plan, but at the same time, it is facing criticism that it is biased and contrary to the will of the Palestinians.
According to IRNA, the devastating war of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip, which began on October 5, 1402, has so far resulted in the martyrdom of more than 66,000 Palestinians, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, and the widespread destruction of vital infrastructure. The ceasefire agreement of January 1403 also failed due to the violation of commitments by the occupying regime, and renewed attacks have once again created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the region.
