Hamas,the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >terrorist association responsible<\/a> for attacks on Israel in October 2023,hailed the UK&#8217;s recognition as a &#8220;victory&#8221; and &#8220;justice&#8221; for the Palestinian cause,saying it sends a clear message to israel that their national rights cannot be erased despite ongoing conflict. This move by the UK, announced just before the second anniversary of the October attacks, follows similar recognition by Canada and Australia. Hamas called for practical steps to follow this recognition,including ending the violence in Gaza and opposing Israeli annexation efforts in the West Bank and Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer framed the recognition as necessary to keep alive the hope for peace and a two-state solution, acknowledging current obstacles like Hamas&#8217;s actions, Israeli government policies, and settlement expansions.
