During talks at the US president’s Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, the Prime Minister will also press for the release of the remaining Israeli hostages.
In his talks with Trump on Monday, Starmer is expected to welcome the President’s administration working with Qatar and Egypt to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza.
Ministers will be recalled from the summer break for Cabinet – which does not normally convene during recess – to be updated on the Starmer-Trump talks as well as Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s attendance at the UN’s two-day meeting on a long-term peace settlement in New York on Monday and Tuesday.

The UK peace plan, which the Prime Minister will discuss with Trump and other allies, including the leaders of France and Germany, would see the release of hostages held by Hamas, an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted aid into Gaza, by land as well as air.
Britain has offered its military support in transporting the aid into Gaza, including military planners deployed in a back-up role, working alongside Jordan.
However the Prime Minister rebuffed that call last week and, while he reiterated the Labour manifesto pledge to back the “inalienable” right to Palestinian statehood, said this can only happen when the conditions are right, including a stable two-state solution and long-term peace deal.
While some in the Foreign Office and other ministers are in favour of immediate recognition of Palestine, the UK is only ready to back statehood once plans for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestinians are in place.

Efforts to deliver aid
RAF aircraft were not involved in airdrops by Jordan and the UAE over the weekend, but the Ministry of Defence is understood to be considering all potential avenues to deliver aid.
Britain will now carry out further work with Jordan and other allies in the region.
While airdrops will help to alleviate the worst of the suffering, the British government believes land routes serve as the only viable and sustainable means of providing aid into Gaza.

The Foreign Secretary on Sunday welcomed the temporary pause by the IDF as “essential but long overdue”.
“The Prime Minister has already announced plans to work with Jordan to get aid into Gaza and to evacuate children who need critical medical assistance to the UK for treatment.
“This announcement alone cannot alleviate the needs of those desperately suffering in Gaza. We need a ceasefire that can end the war, for hostages to be released and aid to enter Gaza by land unhindered. Whilst airdrops will help to alleviate the worst of the suffering, land routes serve as the only viable and sustainable means of providing aid into Gaza. These measures must be fully implemented and further barriers on aid removed. The world is watching.
In his talks with Trump in Scotland, the PM are also expected to discuss progress on implementing the UK-US trade deal and applying pressure on Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
Following the official bilateral meeting in Turnberry the two leaders will travel on together for a further private engagement in Aberdeen, where the president owns another golf resort.
