US EditionTop Trump Ally Hits Out at Starmer’s ‘Clumsy’ Pledge to Recognise Palestine
UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – Trump condemns France, the UK, and Canada for recognizing a Palestinian state, arguing it rewards Hamas amid ongoing hostage situation involving 50 Israelis, his spokesperson said.
- President Donald Trump expressed displeasure, saying France, the United Kingdom, and Canada's recognition of a Palestinian state rewards Hamas while 50 Israelis remain hostage.
- Following Starmer’s announcement on July 29, Canada declared on July 30 its intention to recognize Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly unless Israel halts Gaza operations.
- Critics argue recognition risks legitimizing Hamas, as Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar warned that it would be a tragedy for both Israelis and Palestinians.
- Regarding Britain’s plan, Trump said his government “was not on this side,” and a White House spokeswoman viewed it as “rewarding Hamas at a time when the Palestinian movement is the real obstacle to a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.”
- With Canada set to follow and over 147 UN member states recognizing Palestinian statehood, the United Kingdom embeds itself in a growing global consensus, critics warn.
