Keir Starmer’s plan for Palestinian state recognition is ‘one of the fruits of October 7,’ a top Hamas official has boasted.
The statement came as furore around the Prime Minister’s proposal showed no sign of dying down at the weekend.
Senior Hamas politician Ghazi Hamad enflamed the situation as he told news network Al Jazeera: ‘The initiative by several countries to recognise the Palestinian State is one of the fruits of October 7.
‘Why do all countries recognise Palestine today? Before October 7, was there a single country that dared to recognise the State of Palestine? Just give me one example.
'Now, the achievement we accomplished on October 7 is what brought the Palestinian issue to the world’s attention and prompted powerful action in support of it,’ Hamad said.
