Tensions escalate as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns the UK, Canada, and Australia over their recognition of a Palestinian state, accusing them of “rewarding terrorism.” Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich backs Netanyahu, calling for sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, while opposition leader Yair Lapid criticizes the government for poor diplomacy and security failures. Meanwhile, British PM Keir Starmer says the UK’s decision aims to revive peace efforts, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomes the move as a step toward peace. Hamas praises the recognition, citing the Palestinian struggle, steadfastness, and sacrifices. This comes amid the ongoing Gaza conflict, where over 65,000 Palestinians have been killed and many more displaced. The UN has accused Israel of genocide as international tensions continue to rise.
