US EditionHamas Calls UK Recognition of Palestine a 'Result' of October 7 Attack
UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 4 – A senior Hamas terrorist says the UK and allies' plan to recognise Palestine stems from the October 7 attack, amid concerns it strengthens Hamas and pressures Israel for a ceasefire.
- 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.
- Hamas official Ghazi Hamad described the recognition initiative as one of the 'fruits of October 7', linking it directly to the attack's consequences.
- Critics, including the Conservative Party and former Home Secretary Dame Priti Patel, argue the recognition rewards Hamas, which remains proscribed as a terrorist organization in the UK since 2021.
- 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.

The UK says it will recognize Palestine — unless Israel refuses a ceasefire. That’s not solidarity; it’s political pressure. France and Canada have tied their recognition to the prospect of a real peace deal — including a demand that Hamas disarm. But…
