The countries that recognized a Palestinian state after the Hamas-led massacre in Israel’s south on Oct. 7, 2023, “will be remembered with eternal shame,” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Sept. 21, according to JNS.
“Most countries in the world have already recognized a ‘Palestinian state’ in the past. It was wrong in the past, too. But those governments that decided to join the recognition precisely now are also doing an immoral, outrageous, and especially ugly action,” Sa’ar tweeted.
He went on to say that the Sept. 21 declarations by the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia were “a prize for Hamas and a reward for terrorism,” as well as an “unjustified reward for the Palestinian Authority.”
“Only recently, the U.S. announced measures against the PA and its leaders, among other things due to the continuation of its policy to reward terrorists by paying them salaries,” Israel’s top diplomat noted.
The minister further vowed that a Palestinian state will not be established and that Israel’s future will be determined in Jerusalem — not London or Paris.
Sa’ar expressed his encouragement at the reactions of the political oppositions in Britain, Australia and Canada, which “firmly and clearly oppose the moves of their governments and see it as a wrong and distorted move.”
He added, “Our friends in the world will also stand by our side and chief among them — the United States of America. And the eternity of Israel will not lie!”
