Shadow minister says Palestine recognition 'unlikely'

A shadow minister has said the government's recognition of Palestine as an independent state is unlikely to happen.

Keir Starmer said he would recognise the state if Hamas surrendered power.

Shadow chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart said: "Hamas is not about to lay down it's weapons and go quietly into the night.

I just think this is nonsense really." Report by Kennedyl.

Trump Demands Hamas SURRENDER & Release Hostages for Ceasefire in Gaza as Witkoff meets Netanyahu

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: “Surrender and release the hostages” or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israel’s war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his tone—demanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt. With annexation being floated as a fallback, the situation remains tense, and U.S.-backed aid efforts face scrutiny for failing to ease suffering. #TrumpVsHamas #GazaCrisis #HostageTalks #Netanyahu #WitkoffMission #MiddleEastTensions #GazaWar #HumanitarianCrisis #HamasUltimatum #GazaStarvation #TrumpStatement #IsraelHamasWar #AidUnderFire #QatarMediation #USIsraelRelations #BreakingNews #GazaBlockade #GazaFamine #WitkoffInJerusalem #PeaceStalemate #AnnexationThreat #TrumpMiddleEast #HamasResistance #GazaAidFail #USPolicyShift #HostagesInGaza #GazaNegotiations Also Read They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc After Tariffs, Trump Administration Sanctions 6 Indian Companies For Trading With Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/after-tariffs-trump-administration-sanctions-6-indian-companies-for-trading-with-iran-011-7816493.html?ref=DMDesc Maybe, Pakistan Will Sell Oil To India Someday: Trump After Striking Deal With Islamabad :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/maybe-pakistan-will-sell-oil-to-india-someday-trump-after-striking-deal-with-islamabad-011-7816471.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

‘Hamas Can…’ Canada’s BIG Announcement For Palestine |Israel SLAMS Canada For ‘Distorted Campaign’ [Video]

‘Hamas Can…’ Canada’s BIG Announcement For Palestine |Israel SLAMS Canada For ‘Distorted Campaign’

In a seismic shift in foreign policy, Canada has announced it will formally recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th UN General Assembly session in September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the move essential to preserve hopes of a two-state solution—calling current efforts "eroded before our eyes." The decision follows similar recognitions by France and the UK, creating a powerful bloc pushing for Palestinian statehood. However, Carney made the recognition conditional—insisting on PA reforms, 2026 elections excluding Hamas, and full demilitarisation. Israel has blasted the decision, calling it a "distorted campaign of international pressure" and warning it legitimises Hamas's October 7 atrocities. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas hailed the move as “historic.” The tension between international recognition and Israeli resistance could reshape global diplomacy on the conflict. #Canada #Palestine #Israel #UNGeneralAssembly #TwoStateSolution #MarkCarney #PalestinianState #Gaza #Hamas #Abbas #MiddleEast #IsraelPalestine #PeaceProcess #UNGA2025 #France #UK #Ottawa #Jerusalem #Diplomacy #BreakingNews Also Read Far-Right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's Visit to Jerusalem Site Stirs Controversy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/far-right-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-controversial-visit-jerusalem-011-3831673.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's First Reaction On Ireland And Norway Over Recognition Of Palestinian State :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-first-reaction-on-ireland-and-norway-over-recognition-of-palestinian-state-3831297.html?ref=DMDesc Biden hails Australia as "anchor to peace and prosperity" in the Pacific :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/biden-hails-australia-as-anchor-to-peace-and-prosperity-in-the-pacific-gen-3667943.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

Canada’s Hypocrisy Exposed! Secretly supplied weapons to Israel; now plans to recognise Palestine

A shocking new report reveals Canada has secretly supplied weapons to Israel amid the Gaza conflict, contradicting its stated export freeze. Activist researchers traced at least 13 arms-linked flights from Toronto, many via civilian carriers like Air Canada and Lufthansa. Items shipped included F-35 parts, radar gear, and ammunition. Elbit Systems is identified as a major recipient. The exposé surfaces just as PM Mark Carney announces recognition of Palestine, admitting Israeli settlement expansions have rendered negotiations "no longer tenable." #CanadaIsrael #Palestine #ArmsExports #GazaGenocide #CanadianHypocrisy #ElbitSystems #MilitaryLeaks #DoubleStandards #HumanRights #CarneySpeech #WeaponShipments #TorontoFlights #CivilianFlightsUsed #IsraelCanadaTies #ExposeCanada #WarProfiteering #F35Parts #RadarExports #WestBank #MiddleEastCrisis #ActivistReport #GazaUnderAttack #InternationalLaw #DefenceDeals #BreakingNews #CanadaPolitics #CanadianComplicity Also Read France's Recognition of Palestine Could Influence Future Middle East Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-recognition-state-palestine-middle-east-dynamics-011-7810889.html?ref=DMDesc Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.122~
