Surprise: Hamas Declares Victory After UK, Canada, Australia Recognize Palestinian State

It wasn’t like tons of people stated that recognizing the Palestinian state would be a victory for the terrorists who started this on October 7th, right?

Hamas declares ‘victory’ after UK recognition of Palestine

Hamas has declared victory for “the justice of our cause” after Sir Keir Starmer announced Britain would recognise Palestinian statehood.
In a video message on Sunday, Sir Keir insisted the move, one of the most significant shifts in British foreign policy in decades, was “not a reward for Hamas”.

But Mahmoud Mardaw, a senior Hamas official, claimed it represented “a victory for Palestinian rights and the justice of our cause” and would “send a clear message” to Israel.

On Sunday night, US president Donald Trump said the decision was “rewarding Hamas”. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, he added: “I don’t think they should be rewarded. I am not in that camp, to be honest.”

Canada and Australia, which have been overrun with Islamist just like the UK, also recognized Palestinian statehood

“With the actions of Hamas, the Israeli government escalating the conflict and settlement building being accelerated in the West Bank, the hope of a two-state solution is fading, but we cannot let that light go out,” Starmer said.

Alongside similar announcements of recognition from Canada and Australia, he described Hamas as a “brutal terror organisation”.

He said: “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 group which is a designated terrorist organization by the UK government disagrees.

Jewish organisations, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews, condemned the decision, arguing there will be “deep dismay at the Prime Minister’s announcement across the Jewish community”, while the Campaign Against Antisemitism described the decision as “Sir Keir Starmer’s Neville Chamberlain moment”.

Meanwhile, the families of hostages held by Hamas said the UK and its allies were responsible for a “catastrophic failure of political, moral and diplomatic leadership” and said any recognition of Palestine must be contingent on the release of their relatives.

Britain is lost.
