<\/a>UK, Australia and Canada Recognize Palestinian State, Israel Condemns Decision<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nReuters and Algemeiner Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Britain, Canada and Australia all recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday in a move borne out of frustration over the Gaza war and intended to promote a two-state solution, prompting a furious response from Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n The decision by three major Western nations, which have been traditional allies of Israel, aligned them with about 140 other countries also backing Palestinians\u2019 aspiration to forge an independent homeland from the Israeli-occupied territories.<\/span><\/p>\n Britain\u2019s decision carried particular symbolism given its major role in Israel\u2019s creation as a modern nation in the aftermath of World War Two.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cToday, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two-state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognizes the State of Palestine,\u201d said Prime Minister Keir Starmer.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe man-made humanitarian crisis in Gaza reaches new depths. The Israeli government\u2019s relentless and increasing bombardment of Gaza, the offensive of recent weeks, the starvation and devastation are utterly intolerable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Other nations, including France, are expected to follow suit this week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the move.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the horrific massacre of October 7: You are giving a huge reward to terrorism,\u201d he said, referring to Palestinian terrorist group Hamas\u2019 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the nearly two-year war in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd I have another message for you: It will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Hamas-led attack on Israel killed 1,200 people and saw 251 others taken hostage.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt is a human duty of every respectful and free human being in the world to support Palestinians during the ordeal they are going through and Britain\u2019s role now comes within this,\u201d said Sharaf Al Tarda, a Palestinian resident of Hebron in the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n Hamas welcomed the move but said it must be accompanied by \u201cpractical measures\u201d to end the war in Gaza and prevent Israel from annexing the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said recognition would help pave the way for the \u201cState of Palestine to live side by side with the State of Israel in security, peace, and good neighborliness\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n Starmer wrote to Abbas to confirm Britain\u2019s decision, noting that London had backed a Jewish homeland in 1917 while also pledging to protect the rights of non-Jewish communities.<\/span><\/p>\n Western governments have been under pressure from many in their parties and populations angry at the ever-rising death toll in Gaza, images of starving children and their states\u2019 inability to rein in Israel, even continuing to provide arms.<\/span><\/p>\n Londoners voiced mixed reactions on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA whole lot needs to happen and peace needs to come to that region,\u201d said 56-year-old charity director Michael Angus. \u201cThis is the first step in actually acknowledging that those people have a right to have somewhere to call home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Announcing his country\u2019s decision, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said it would empower those seeking peaceful co-existence and the end of Hamas. \u201cThis in no way legitimizes terrorism, nor is it any reward for it,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n The United States, Israel\u2019s closest ally, did not comment immediately on the decision by three of its allies to recognize a Palestinian state, but President Donald Trump has previously made clear he opposes such a move.<\/span><\/p>\n Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he would propose that the cabinet apply sovereignty in the West Bank. That would represent de facto annexation of land seized in a 1967 war.<\/span><\/p>\n British troops captured Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire in 1917, and in 1922 the League of Nations awarded Britain an international mandate to administer Palestine during the post-war deal-making that redrew the map of the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n Mandy Damari, the British mother of released British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari, told Reuters on Sunday that Starmer was \u201cunder a two-state delusion\u201d given that the Gaza Strip\u2019s government was still Hamas whose mission was to destroy Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe is rewarding Hamas for the 7th October barbaric and savage attack on Israel when the hostages are still not back, the war is not over and Hamas are still in power in Gaza.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Husam Zomlot, head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, watched on his phone as Starmer announced Britain\u2019s recognition of a Palestinian state.<\/span><\/p>\n At the London headquarters of the mission, which may now be upgraded to an embassy, there were smiles and embraces.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cToday is a moment when the UK Prime Minister and the British government, on behalf of their people, stand and say: \u2018We must correct history, we must right the wrongs,’\u201d Zomlot said.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> UK, Australia and Canada Recognize Palestinian State, Israel Condemns Decision Reuters and Algemeiner Staff Displaced Palestinians, fleeing northern Gaza due to an Israeli military operation, move southward, using a vehicle packed with personal belongings, after Israeli forces ordered residents of Gaza City to evacuate to the south, in the central Gaza Strip, September 21, 2025.
