The findings, by the think tank More in Common, revealed that 29 percent of respondents sympathised more with the Palestinian side in the war, compared to 15 percent who sympathised more with Israel. This marks an 11-point rise in support for Palestinians since November 2023, just weeks after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October.

James Murray also confirms Sir Keir Starmer will raise the issue of Gaza when he meets Donald Trump on Monday.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday committed to increasing British aid efforts in Gaza and advocated for a peaceful two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.

According to Israeli authorities, hundreds of aid trucks have already been allowed into the enclave and are now waiting at designated collection points for distribution by the United Nations (UN).

Israel will coordinate airdrops of aid into Gaza from foreign countries in the coming days, an Israeli security official confirmed to ABC News.

Since Israel began its military campaign in Gaza after the 7 October attacks, significant public attention has focused on the issue of assistance provided by the UK. Much of the weaponry used in Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) strikes on the strip has been built or sold by Western nations.

As starvation grips Gaza, more than 200 UK lawmakers urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to recognise Palestinian state.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Friday the British government would recognise a Palestinian state only as part of a negotiated peace deal, disappointing many in his Labour Party who want him to follow France in taking swifter action.

Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump are due to meet on Monday, after the PM has faced mounting calls to recognise a Palestinian state.
