Hamas terrorists have declared victory for “the justice of our cause” after Britain recognised the State of Palestine
The major foreign policy shift made Britain one of more than 150 states to now recognise Palestine.
Canada, Australia and Portugal joined the UK in this move.
Sir Keir called it a “pledge to the Palestinian and Israeli people that there can be a better future”.
It comes after nearly two years of war following the atrocities of October 7, 2023 in which Hamas terrorists killed around 1,200 people and took hundreds hostage.
Senior Hamas figure Mahmoud Mardaw declared that this recognition of Palestine is a “victory for Palestinian rights and the justice of our cause”.
He added that it would send a “clear message” to Israel.
