RAMALLAH, June 4, 2025 (WAFA) - British Consul General, Helen Winterton, affirmed that the United Kingdom is closely monitoring developments in the Palestinian Territory and continues to work with international partners to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and ensure the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid.

She reiterated Britain’s firm support for the Palestinian right to establish an independent state in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, noting that there is growing momentum within the UK—across the government, parliament, and political parties—toward taking concrete steps to recognize the State of Palestine as part of a two-state solution that ensures a just and lasting peace in the region.

This statement came during a meeting today in Ramallah with Mahmoud Al-Aloul, Deputy Head of the Fatah Movement, held at his office in the city.

During the meeting, they discussed the latest developments in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, ways to end the Israeli aggression and efforts to bolster international recognition of the State of Palestine.

Al-Aloul called on Britain to intensify its efforts in international forums, work more effectively to halt the aggression, address ongoing violations, and establish a binding political framework for the reconstruction of Gaza that ensures such aggression is not repeated.
