Summary
UK PM Keir Starmer met US President Trump in Scotland.
Starmer presented a European plan urging Gaza ceasefire and aid.
They discussed working with Qatar and Egypt on the situation.
Also covered US-UK trade and Ukraine cooperation.
Both stressed easing Gaza suffering and freeing hostages.
It comes after a weekend call with French and German leaders following the breakdown of US-led peace talks last week, according to Downing Street.
Following fears of widespread famine in Gaza, an extraordinary meeting of the UK cabinet is scheduled for this week to examine the plans and assistance activities in the region.
It coincides with fresh internal and international pressure on the prime minister to acknowledge Palestinian statehood right away.
Downing Street promised that the "next steps" would be outlined following this week's cabinet meeting, which has not yet been confirmed, but has not provided any details of the peace plan.
A representative for Sir Keir had earlier stated that during the next several days, the recommendations would also be made to friends, particularly Arab nations.
The prime minister compared the plans to the "coalition of the willing" that would back any possible agreement to end the conflict in Ukraine in an article published over the weekend.
After Trump claimed that Hamas "didn't really want to make a deal" and Israel stated that it would consider "alternative options" to liberate the prisoners, the US and Israel withdrew their negotiating teams from Qatar on Thursday.
A spokesperson for Sir Keir stated on Monday that plans to "provide immediate relief to those on the ground" were being developed by the UK, France, and Germany.
The plans would "set out a pathway to peace and a sustainable route to a two-state solution," the official continued, adding that they would "build on the collaboration to date" between the three nations.
But before talking about future peace ideas, Trump said that his priority is getting help into Gaza.
"Before we get to phase two, which is what's going to happen afterwards, we want to get the children fed,"
he told reporters during his meeting with Starmer.
Additionally, Sir Keir's spokesperson informed reporters that the UK's endorsement of the Palestinian right to statehood was "inalienable" and that it was a "question of when, not if."
It follows the signing of a letter by 255 MPs, up from 221 on Friday, urging the government to recognize Palestine as a state forthwith.
More than half of the party's backbenchers, or 147 Labour MPs, are included in this.
Following President Macron's announcement that France plans to recognize Palestinian statehood in the upcoming months, the letter was sent.
Sir Keir and Trump both agreed that additional aid is needed in Gaza during a press conference held at Trump Turnberry.
As assistance airdrops resumed in the strip, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a warning that malnutrition in Gaze has reached "alarming levels" and that rates are on a "dangerous trajectory."
As Israel halted its military operations, Britain joined a weekend assistance drop into Gaza, flying goods in through Jordan.
Israel declared over the weekend that it will establish safe channels for the delivery of aid and halt fighting in three parts of Gaza for ten hours every day.
Sir Keir called the "images of starving children" in Gaza "revolting" in his remarks prior to his meeting with Trump.
Both presidents "agreed that urgent action was needed to bring an end to the suffering" in Gaza during the discussion, according to Downing Street.
Following nearly daily allegations of Palestinians being slain while waiting for food under the current US-led arrangements, Trump hinted before the meeting that the US will establish new food centers in Gaza without barriers.
The president accused Hamas of taking supplies from civilians and said the group has become "very difficult to deal with" in order to stall peace talks.
The prime minister was cautioned by Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey not to take "warm words" from an "unpredictable" US president.
"In both Ukraine and the Middle East the situation is utterly intolerable, and the prime minister needs to work with our allies to put a proper plan in place, so that we can lead even if Donald Trump continues to refuse to act,"
Sir Ed said.
