Hamas Calls UK Recognition of Palestine a 'Result' of October 7 Attack
- On August 3, 2025, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Macron announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state unilaterally.
- This announcement follows the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas militants which killed about 1,200 people and abducted 251 hostages in Israel.

- The UK's recognition plan is conditional on Israel ending the crisis, but the situation may increase Hamas-related terrorism and radicalisation risks both domestically and internationally.
