Trump ally Marco Rubio hits out at Starmer’s ‘clumsy’ pledge to recognise Palestinian statehood
Marco Rubio attacked Sir Keir Starmer and described the prime minister as “incompetent üzerine on his plan to recognize a Palestinian state in September.
In the strongest condemnation of the Trump administration, the US Secretary of State said that the Prime Minister was “incompetent” because he promised to recognize Palestine before releasing the hostages taken in Hamas 7 October attacks.
Speaking with Fox News Radio, Rubio said, “Britain, ‘Israel does not accept a ceasefire until September, we will recognize a Palestinian state,’ he said.
“So Hamassam, I say, ‘Do you know, let us not let it be a ceasefire’.
“So they won’t accept a ceasefire. So, it’s very incompetent.”
Mr. Rubio claimed that Sir Keir was acting due to the pressure of the Labor Party and the government pro -Gaza critics. He said: “In fact, this is their domestic policies in most of the cases of these countries. Some of these countries have large election zones that pressure on this side, regardless of their geopolitical consequences.”
The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came to journalists on Thursday: “President expressed his discontent and his disputes with the leaders of France, the United Kingdom and Canada.
“He feels like rewarding Hamas at a time when Hamas’s ceasefire and the release of all hostages are a real obstacle.”
Donald Trump said he didn’t care about the Palestinian state that Sir Keir was “taking positions about the Palestinian state during his visit to the United Kingdom. However, after planning to recognize the Palestinian state, the President of the United States accused the Prime Minister of “rewarding Hamas”.
If Mr. Rubio’s comments are going further than the president and Israel cannot take steps to end the war in Gaza, the most powerful rebuke for Sir Keir, as he promises the movement.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister recalled the cabinet from the summer holidays to end what the UN assessment was confronted with a humanitarian crisis of a humanitarian crisis.
Sir Keir, Britain, if Israel allows more help to Gaza, will refrain from recognizing Palestine, stopping the land in the West Bank, accepting the ceasefire and a long -term peace process for the next two months, he said.
Sir Keir said that the Palestinian militant group Hamas should be released immediately to all the remaining Israeli hostages, registering, disarmed to the ceasefire, and admit that they would not play any roles in the Gaza government ”.
The Prime Minister also reacted from Freed Hamas hostages, including the British-Israel Emily Groom, organized by the Terror Group for 15 months.
He accused him of a “moral failure ve and said to recognize Palestine ön Risk that rewards terrorism”.
He said: “If he had come to power during World War II, would he defend the recognition of Nazi control of occupied countries such as the Netherlands, France or Poland?
“This is not a diplomacy, but a moral failure. Shame for you, Prime Minister,” he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said an angry response, saying that the decision “Hamas rewarded terrible terrorism and punishes his victims”.
Sir Keir’s statement was covered with confusion about whether Hamas released all the hostages in Gaza to recognize the Palestinian state, and the ministers could not say that the movement was free.
