Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a strong rebuke of the British government's decision to formally recognize Palestinian statehood. He labeled the move by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer as an action that "rewards terrorism," linking it directly to the October 7th attacks.
Speaking from the United States on Sunday, September 21, where he is set to meet with former President Donald Trump, Netanyahu argued that such recognition undermines the pursuit of peace. He pledged to deliver a more comprehensive reaction upon his return to Israel.
The Israeli leader stated that his message to governments taking this step was unequivocal: they are offering a "huge reward" for violent acts. He further declared his firm opposition, vowing, "There will not be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River."
