Britain rejected, on Wednesday, criticism directed to it as a reward for Hamas, by making plans to recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes steps to improve the situation in the Gaza Strip and bring peace.
The scene of children with wasting in Gaza has caused a shock to the world during the past few days, and a global hunger observatory warned, on Tuesday, that a famine is revealed in the Gaza Strip, and that it is necessary to take immediate measures to prevent the spread of death on a large scale.
The alarm, which was launched by British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer, who set a final date for Israel next September, sparked immediately reprimanding from his Israeli counterpart, who said Starmer is equivalent to “Hamas”, and is punished with the dead and the injured who fell in its cross -border attack in 2023.
US President Donald Trump said he did not believe that he “must be rewarded” Hamas by recognizing an independent Palestinian state.
In response to a question about this criticism, British Transport Minister Heidi Alexander, who assigned the government to answer questions in a series of media interviews, said on Wednesday that this is not the correct way to characterize the British plan.
“This is not a reward for (Hamas),” Hamas) told “LBC” radio. It is related to the Palestinian people. It relates to those children we see in Gaza are starving to death. ”
She added, “We have to increase the pressure on the Israeli government to cancel the restrictions imposed on the introduction of aid to Gaza.”
France announced last week that it would recognize a Palestinian state in September.
Successful British governments announced that they would recognize a Palestinian state when that decision is the most effective.
In a speech conveyed by television, on Tuesday, Starmer said that this time, shedding light on the suffering in Gaza, and pointed out that the chances of a two -state solution are a Palestinian state coexist in peace alongside Israel, threatened.
Starmer added that Britain will take the move in the United Nations General Assembly in September unless Israel takes fundamental steps to allow more assistance to enter Gaza, and clearly declare that there will be no inclusion in the West Bank, and adhere to a long -term peace process that leads to a two -state solution.
