UK denies recognising Palestinian state rewards Hamas
Britain rejects Israel criticism that Israel has identified plans to recognize the Palestinian state unless it takes steps to improve and ensure peace in Gaza, rewarding Israel criticism.
Ultimatum, which determined Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s last date of September, immediately created a rebuke from Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that he rewarded Hamas and punished the victims of the 2023 attacks that triggered the war.
US President Donald Trump also said he did not think that Hamas should “be rewarded” with the recognition of Palestinian independence.
However, British Transport Minister Heidi Alexander, who was determined by the government to answer media questions on Wednesday, said: “This is not an award for Hamas.
“Hamas is a vile terrorist organization that makes terrible persecution. This is about the Palestinian people. This is about the children we see to starve in Gaza.
“We must press the Israeli government to remove the restrictions to help Gaza.”
Starmer’s decision followed the decision of French President Emmanuel Macron, who announced that Paris would recognize the Palestinian state in September last week and that it became the first major Western power to do so due to terrible human conditions in the settlement area.
Previously, Britain and France, like other Western powers, have adhered to Palestinian independence, but as a target to be achieved at the end of the negotiations with Israel.
Starmer at an address on Tuesday, Tuesday, said that it is necessary to take action because the expectation of such a two -state solution is threatened.
Britain said that if Israel takes important steps to allow more assistance to Gaza, it will not annex the West Bank and will take action at the UN General Assembly in September if it did not dedicate a long -term peace process that offers itself a two -state solution.
The British Jewish Council of Britain’s largest Jewish advocacy group expressed his concerns for Hamas that open conditions were not identified for Hamas and that he had 50 hostages in the October 2023 attack.
The British Muslim Council, the country’s largest Muslim umbrella organization, said that the conditional of recognition was the unusable right of the Palestinian people of the state.
