Trump reacts to Starmer plan to recognize Palestine: ‘Could make the case that you’re rewarding Hamas’
New York Post ^ | July 29, 2025 | Ryan King

WASHINGTON — President Trump warned Tuesday that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state in September if the Israeli government fails to meet certain conditions could reward Hamas and stressed that the US would not follow suit. 

“You could make the case that you’re rewarding Hamas if you do that,” Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One en route to the US from Scotland. “I’m not about to do that.”

Earlier in the day, Starmer committed to granting Palestine UK recognition during the United Nations General Assembly, following in the footsteps of France, unless Israel takes “substantive steps” to remedy humanitarian concerns in the Gaza Strip and agrees to a long-term plan for a two-state solution.

Well, the France and the UK are giving Israel a dictate.

Looks like the EU will have a few to bolt on that.

Trump and the USA are aligned with Israel. We will soon see how that plays out.

Go Israel. End Hamas.

Yep. The Europeans have their feelies hurt. They will run to there Muslim “friends”.

They really think that will work. There will never be peace in the Middle East until Hamas Terrorists are GONE with the WIND.

...unless Israel takes “substantive steps” to remedy humanitarian concerns in the Gaza Strip and agrees to a long-term plan for a two-state solution...

If I was Bibi I'd tell them that the humanitarian "remedy" is for Gaza to unconditionally surrender, show Israel that they actually have a change of heart, and only then they can have a future. Just like Germany had a future only after they surrendered in WW2 after conquering France, repeatedly attacking England, and trying to conquer all of Europe.

There's only one reason it's been 80 years since anyone in France or anywhere else said, "Gee, Wally. I sure hope Germany doesn't attack us again." Hint: it wasn't from feeding Germany's hungry. Until Germany surrendered, absolutely no one in France or England or anywhere else worried about hungry people in Germany. The Marshall Plan worked in Germany only after they learned to change their warmongering culture.

That lesson of culture change hasn't been taught to the Muslims who attacked Israel, and unfortunately not to the Muslims who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. "Winning over hearts and minds" like Bush wanted to doesn't work. What's been shown to work is to kill however many of them it takes until they learn to not attack you again. Go with what works. Don't repeat what doesn't work expecting different results --- the agreed on definition of insanity.

It looks like Trump wanted to say it without actually saying it. I think can see why but l wish he came out and just said you are rewarding murder, rape and destruction but we’ll take it. A rat would have been right there with France and the other surrender monkeys.

SO very very sad to see a member of the British Ruling Elite, which has SOLD OUT the UK to the Islamicist/ IslamoNazi/ terrorist-supporting forces, playing such petty little games trying to criticize Israel for not committing national sucicide along with him.

His threat will have zero impact on Israel, of course. But it sure paints the UK in some very bad company (Fakestinian terrorist gangsters like Hamas, PLO/PA/Fatah, Hezballah, Iran, Hooties, ISIS, you name it...oh yeah, and Marcon’s France.)

shame, shame shame!

An yet Starmer has always emphasized his close ties to Judaism.

From 2020: UK Labour leader Starmer opens up about his family’s Jewish traditions.

From 2024: UK’s new prime minister, Keir Starmer, observes Shabbat, supports Israel and vows to fight antisemitism.

Starmer is atheist but his wife is Jewish.

So they are similar to liberal Jews in NYC.

So in September, will Starmer waive around a piece of paper proclaiming Palestinian statehood, and start shouting “Peace in our time”?

Once a bunch of appeasers, always a bunch of appeasers. If it weren’t for Churchill and the US, the British Isles would be speaking German. Same for the French,

I suspect the Euro-weasels Starmer, Macron and Fred Merz are together in resentment against President Trump for increased tariffs having to pay their share of NATO. They also have their countries transforming into dihmmitude subjects to the New Caliphate in common. Therefore it’s in their best interest to coerce America into pro-active war against Hamas, slowing (but not stopping) the eventual Islamic domination of Europe.

By that time the weasels will be retired, wealthy and tanning on whatever islands their offshore accounts reside - just like too many American traitors.

Right now they think their ahead on 3-D Chess but fail to see their playing against the master.

Qatar joined Egypt and Saudi Arabia yesterday to tell Hamas to surrender and disarm.

That is good.

I’ve not heard anything about that.

Egypt and SA is a force for good there.

BUT, Hamas is Evil.

Israel is about to push forward and destroy Hamas.

Taqiyya

Hamas knows they are on the verge of collapse. But this is a grab to turn Gaza over to the citizens (those who have always been loyal to Hamas and Hezbollah).

No Deal.

The Globalists are drooling. No Deal.
