The US President Donald Trump appears opposed to the recognition of a Palestinian state as he considers to be a reward in Hamas.
In particular, Donald Trump believes that recognizing Palestinian state is a “reward for Hamas,” said White House spokesman Caroline Levit.
According to the spokesman, Trump will speak tomorrow Tuesday, September 23, at the UN General Assembly on this decision that many countries have taken, including France, to inform them that these are “just words and not specific actions”.
At the same time, the US president will attack the “organizations that support globalization” and “undermine the world order,” the White House spokesman said.
During his stay in New York, Trump will have bilateral contacts with UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres and Ukraine leaders, Argentina and the European Union, said Caroline Levit.
Separate, he will participate in a meeting with the leaders of many Muslim countries, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
These statements by Donald Trump They come to complete sympathy with those of Benjamin Netanyahu, who stressed Sunday that the recognition of the Palestinian state by Britain, Australia and Canada “offers a huge reward to terrorism”.
In particular, he stressed that “I have a clear message about leaders who recognize the Palestinian state after the horrible slaughter of October 7: Offer a huge reward to terrorism.
I have another message for you: This will not happen. No Palestinian state will be founded west of the Jordan River. For years, I have prevented the creation of this terrorist state despite huge pressure, both inside the country and internationally.
We have doubled the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (the name used by Israel for the occupied West Bank) and we will continue on this path, “he added.
Britain, Canada and Australia recognized the Palestinian state on Sunday With Britain Prime Minister Kir Starmer saying that “today, in order to rekindle the hope for peace between Palestinians and Israelis, as well as the prospect of a two -state solution, Britain officially recognizes the Palestinian state.”
In the six -minute video, British Prime Minister Kir Starmer stressed that the recognition of the Palestinian state is a message to Israelis and Palestinians that “there is a prospect for a better future”.
“This solution is not a reward for Hamas, because it means that Hamas has no future – no place in government, no position in security,” he said.
At the same time, he called on the Israeli government “to lift the unacceptable restrictions on the border, to end these harsh tactics and to allow the humanitarian aid to be smooth.”
“With the actions of Hamas, the escalation on the Israeli side and the acceleration of settlements on the West Bank, the hope of a two -state solution is fading. But we cannot let this light go out, “Starmer said.
In closing, he underlined: “That is why we build consensus with leaders in the area and beyond that, around the context of peace we propose.”
