LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 10: Rev Sir Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth is seen with hostage families and supporters during a march to Downing Street on August 10, 2025 in London, England. Family members of hostages still held captive by Hamas in Gaza are marching alongside Jewish organizations and supporters to call on the UK government to defer plans to recognize a Palestinian state until all hostages have been released. Around 50 hostages remain in Gaza, of whom, fewer than half are believed to be alive. Last month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged that Britain would recognize a Palestinian state by September, unless Israel agrees to several conditions, including steps taken towards a ceasefire and ending suffering in Gaza.
