Palestine Recognition is ‘Rewarding Hamas’ – Guido Fawkes

Trump: Palestine Recognition is ‘Rewarding Hamas’

After Starmer confirmed today that the UK will recognise Palestine as a state by UNGA in September unless a ceasefire is reached, President Trump told reporters he never discussed the decision with Starmer, adding:

“You’re rewarding Hamas if you do that. I don’t think they should be rewarded. I’m not in that camp.”

Earlier this afternoon Foreign Secretary David Lammy said “it wouldn’t be right for me to comment on private conversations” when asked whether Starmer told Trump about the move. Meanwhile the Israeli government posted on X that they “reject the statement by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.” Starmer’s decision will have far-reaching consequences…

UPDATE: Benjamin Netanyahu responds:

“Starmer rewards Hamas’s monstrous terrorism & punishes its victims. A jihadist state on Israel’s border TODAY will threaten Britain TOMORROW. Appeasement towards jihadist terrorists always fails. It will fail you too. It will not happen.”
