Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has lashed out at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his announcement to recognise the State of Palestine. He accused him of “rewarding Hamas’s monstrous terrorism” and punishing its victims.

“Starmer rewards Hamas’s monstrous terrorism and punishes its victims. A jihadist state on Israel’s border today will threaten Britain tomorrow. Appeasement towards jihadist terrorists always fails. It will fail you too. It will not happen,” said a post from the Israeli PM’s office on X on Wednesday.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry also rejected the UK’s move, stating that such a shift, influenced by internal political pressures and recent moves by France, undermines efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages.
