US EditionTrump Sees Recognition of a Palestinian State as Reward to Hamas, US Official Says
GAZA, JUL 30 – President Trump rejects Palestinian statehood recognition while Hamas controls Gaza, arguing it rewards terrorism and undermines peace efforts amid international pressure from Canada, France, and the UK.
- President Donald Trump stated in 2025 that he will not recognize a Palestinian state because it would reward Hamas.
- This stance follows growing international moves by countries like Canada, the UK, France, and Malta to recognize Palestine despite the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

- This position suggests ongoing US resistance to Palestinian state recognition amid mounting diplomatic pressures and regional efforts for ceasefire and unity among Palestinian factions.
