Sir Keir Starmer took the rare step of recalling his Cabinet during the summer recess for the talks at 2pm.
Here’s what you need to know.
Concerns had been raised that Israel was not allowing trucks of aid to enter the territory.
On Sunday, Israel began a daily “tactical pause” in military activity in three parts of Gaza to allow aid to be delivered during the day, following pressure from other governments.
Israel has rejected criticism of its conduct in Gaza and allegations that it is committing genocide against Palestinians.
2. What the Cabinet will discuss
He has not shared details of the plan, which is expected to be discussed at today’s Cabinet meeting, but he has compared the proposals to the “coalition of the willing”, the international effort to support Ukraine if it agrees to a ceasefire with Russia.
The plans “build on the collaboration to date” between the three countries and would also “set out a pathway to peace and a sustainable route to a two-state solution”, the spokesman added.

The Prime Minister will also discuss pressure from backbench and opposition MPs to recognise a Palestinian state to put pressure on Israel.
Starmer’s spokesman told reporters the Palestinian right to statehood was “inalienable” and it was a “question of when, not if” the UK would agree to recognition.
On Friday last week, more than 200 British MPs from nine parties signed a letter calling for the immediate recognition of a Palestinian state.
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey, former Tory minister Kit Malthouse and Conservative Sir Edward Leigh – Parliament’s longest serving MP – have also signed.
Labour MP Sarah Champion, who chairs the international development select committee and who organised the letter, said a two-state solution “remains the only viable proposal to secure a lasting peace for the region”.
Labour’s election manifesto included a pledge to recognise a Palestinian state “as a contribution to a renewed peace process which results in a two-state solution with a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state”.
At the meeting, some Cabinet members are expected to demonstrate they are in tune with their colleagues on the backbenches.

He is set to give his most detailed outline to date of what needs to happen for Palestine to achieve recognition.
However, this is unlikely to be enough to appease a third of Labour MPs who have called for the immediate recognition of Palestine.
Starmer has so far rejected calls to immediately recognise Palestine, saying he was focused on “practical solutions”.
In a statement following his call with Macron and his German counterpart Friedrich Merz, Starmer said: “Alongside our closest allies, I am working on a pathway to peace in the region, focused on the practical solutions that will make a real difference to the lives of those who are suffering in this war.
“Recognition of a Palestinian state has to be one of those steps. I am unequivocal about that.
Starmer, with his cautious legal instincts, believes that recognising Palestinian statehood too early would be a performative and empty gesture, The i Paper understands.
The Prime Minister could also announce additional efforts to get aid into Gaza.
On Friday evening, he said the Government would “pull every lever” to get food and life-saving support to Palestinians, and evacuate children “who need urgent medical assistance”.
