Hamas has declared victory after Sir Keir Starmer announced that the UK formally recognises Palestine as a state.
The Prime Minister announced the decision in a video message on Sunday afternoon at the same time that Canada and Australia also recognised Palestinian statehood.
He said: “Let’s be frank. Hamas is a brutal terror organisation. Our call for a genuine two-state solution is the exact opposite of their hateful vision. We are clear this solution is not a reward for Hamas, because it means Hamas can have no future, no role in government, no role in security.”
The move means that Palestine, which is formed of the West Bank and Gaza, is entitled to an official embassy in the UK and will be given full diplomatic rights in Britain.
Critics said it was a “reward for terrorism” and will have no immediate impact on the war in Gaza, while the families of hostages held by Hamas has said it will “complicate” the return of their relatives.
Mahmoud Mardawi, a senior Hamas official, described the decision as a victory for the rights of Palestinians.
He told the AFP news agency: “These developments represent a victory for Palestinian rights and the justice of our cause, and send a clear message: no matter how far the occupation goes in its crimes, it will never be able to erase our national rights.”

So, now maybe the UK will understand when, as Palestine is unlawfully holding hostages and committing acts of war on Israel, Palestine gets destroyed and conquered.
Bendover Brits! The Hamas boys want to drive you home!
Their goal has been to internationalize the conflict against Israel and it's working after a fashion.
Israel could end up winning every battle but still lose the war if the dragging on of the October 7 War gives Hamas the time to mobilize propaganda to foment world wide opposition and condemnation to Israel
Well, it was a victory over the UK.
In other news, multiple UK citizens were arrested and held by police today, for refusing to say "Muslims Can Walk On Water".
It’s like Europeans have no ability for international diplomacy.
Some European government s and the UN don’t want the war with Hamas to ever end. Now Hamas thinks they have a country.
Arrogant white colonialist drawing imaginary lines on a map of brown people leading to generations of bloodshed. This has been seen before.
Looking forward to Starmer’s trial and execution in the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
No one cares about Sudan. But there’s a war in Sudan. So why aren’t we outraged over the war in Sudan?
History repeats itself.
Muslims have already defeated England.
Starmer is appeasing Englands large Muslim Population.
Palestine is run by Hamas, a terror organization. They still have civilian hostages (including the corpses of four dead Americans) they kidnapped in a conflict they started two years ago.
These people are incapable of self-government, and they’re raising their children to follow in their footsteps. It has to end. Offering statehood is a step in the wrong directions.
Hopefully Israel bombs them until Gaza City is renamed New Dresden and then hangs anyone left who was involved in the October 7 attack for crimes against humanity.
Britain is circling around the toilet bowl on its way to extinction as a once great civilization.
We are clear this solution is not a reward for Hamas
Correction: We are clear this solution is a reward for Hamas.
UK was also a critical supporter of the creation of the modern state of Israel. Phliffbbbl.
meaningless token/bone thrown to globalist society replacers who someday soon will likely just recognize the UK as a mooselimb californiate member.
Taxpayer money will now flow from Canada , UK and Australia to support and create more terrorists
Sure Kier, now do Ulster.
Last I checked, Israel hasn’t stopped.
