A SENIOR Hamas terrorist has called Sir Keir Starmer’s plan to recognise a Palestinian state one of the “fruits” of the October 7 attack.
It comes after the PM said he would declare recognition next month unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire.

France and Canada will do the same.
Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said: “The initiative by several countries to recognise a Palestinian state is one of the fruits of October 7.
“We have proven that victory over Israel is not impossible, and our weapons are a symbol of Palestinian honour.”
The bombardment of Gaza began after about 1,200 were killed in the October 7 attacks by Hamas in Israel in 2023, with 200 taken hostage.
Israel’s foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar took aim at Britain and its allies for the change in stance.
He said: “If this is who applauds you, what does it say about you?”
The Tories last night intervened in the row saying that Hamas — deemed a terror group in the UK — has been strengthened by the statehood plan.
Supporters of Israel also said it failed to impose any conditions on Hamas, including release of any remaining hostages.
