Sir Keir Starmer has said Palestinians have an "inalienable right" to statehood as he spoke about "unspeakable" suffering in Gaza.
The Prime Minister said he will hold an emergency call with French and German leaders to discuss what could be done to "stop the killing and get people the food they desperately need."
Releasing a statement, the Prime Minister said: "The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
"While the situation has been grave for some time, it has reached new depths and continues to worsen. We are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe...It is hard to see a hopeful future in such dark times.
"We are clear that statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people.
"A ceasefire will put us on a path to the recognition of a Palestinian state and a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis."
Israeli forces have killed nearly 60,000 Palestinians in airstrikes according to health officials, shelling and shooting since launching their assault on Gaza in response to attacks on Israel by the Hamas group that killed 1,200 people and captured 251 hostages in October 2023.
For the first time since the war began, Palestinian officials say Gazans are now also dying of hunger.
At least 101 people are known to have died of hunger during the conflict, according to Palestinian officials, including 80 children, most of them in just the last few weeks.
Israel, which controls all supplies entering Gaza, denies it is responsible for shortages of food.
An IDF spokesman said it "views the transfer of humanitarian aid into Gaza as a matter of utmost importance", and works to facilitate its entry in coordination with the international community.
