There is no doubt that this week may be an interesting week in the international community
00:04
as world leaders gather for the 2025 United Nations General Assembly meeting to discuss
00:10
and take a stand over decades of conflicts between Israel and the people of Palestine,
00:15
especially some of them well known as Hamas fighters, over territorial integrity and sovereignty,
00:21
most especially ever since the State of Palestine was officially declared by the Palestine Liberation
00:27
Organization, PLO on the 15th of November 1988, claiming sovereignty over the West Bank,
00:34
which includes East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, and as at the end of 1988, over 78 countries
00:41
approved the declaration including Nigeria that recognized Palestinian state barely three days
00:47
after the declaration on November 18th, 1988, and the numbers have been increasing particularly
00:53
since the beginning of 2024 like never before, as at September 21st, 2025, over 151 countries out of
01:04
the 193 United Nations members have recognized the Palestinian state including United Kingdom,
01:11
UK which its recognition appears to be more disturbing to the Israeli government,
01:16
with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu issuing what he described as a clear message
01:22
to the world leaders recognizing Palestine as a country of its own that it's not going to happen.
01:28
The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada among others declared and announced their recognition
01:33
of the Palestinian state on September 21st, 2025, while countries like Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea
01:42
among others are yet to make their position known. In a video broadcast on Sunday, the British Prime Minister,
01:49
Keir Starmer said, today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis,
01:55
and a two-state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognizes the state of Palestine,
02:00
adding that the recognition is not a reward for Hamas, reiterating that the United Kingdom has already
02:06
prescribed and sanctioned Hamas as a terrorist organization, saying, any member of Hamas will not be a member
02:13
of the Palestinian government, including joining the security architectures of the Palestinian state.
02:19
A statement by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu issued a few hours after the video broadcast
02:25
by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, the Israel Prime Minister said there would never be
02:32
a Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River.
02:34
In quotes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, I have a clear message to those leaders who are
02:41
recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October 7th massacre, you are rewarding terror with
02:47
an enormous prize. And I have another message for you, it's not going to happen. There will be no
02:54
Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River. For years I have prevented the creation of that terror
03:00
state against tremendous pressure, both domestic and from abroad. We have done this with determination
03:07
and with eschewed statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria,
03:14
and we will continue on this path. The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror
03:19
state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Stand by.
03:26
In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility
03:33
of peace and a two-state solution. That means a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian
03:42
state. At the moment, we have neither. Ordinary people, Israeli and Palestinian, deserve to live
03:53
in peace, to try to rebuild their lives free from violence and suffering. That's what the British
04:01
people desperately want to see. Yet, almost two years after the barbaric attacks of October 7th,
04:12
hostages are still held by the terrorists of Hamas. Recent images show the hostages suffering and
04:21
emaciated. Hamas even refuse to release all the bodies of the dead.
04:29
I have met British families of the hostages. I see the torture that they endure each and every day.
04:38
Pain that strikes deep in people's hearts across Israel and here in the United Kingdom.
04:44
The hostages must be released immediately. And we will keep fighting to bring them home.
04:53
Let's be frank. Hamas is a brutal terror organization. Our call for a genuine two-state solution
05:02
is the exact opposite of their hateful vision. So we are clear. This solution is not a reward for Hamas
05:14
because it means Hamas can have no future, no role in government, no role in security.
05:22
We have already prescribed and sanctioned Hamas. And we will go further.
05:26
However, I have directed work to sanction other Hamas figures in the coming weeks.
05:34
Meanwhile, the man-made humanitarian crisis in Gaza reaches new depths. The Israeli government's
05:43
relentless and increasing bombardment of Gaza. The offensive of recent weeks.
05:50
The starvation and devastation are utterly intolerable. Tens of thousands have been killed,
06:01
including thousands as they tried to collect food and water. This death and destruction horrifies
06:09
all of us. It must end.
06:12
We have evacuated the first group of sick and injured children to the United Kingdom to be treated
06:20
by the NHS. And we continue to increase our humanitarian support. But still, nowhere near
06:28
enough aid is getting through. We call again on the Israeli government to lift the unacceptable
06:36
restrictions at the border. Stop these cruel tactics and let the aid surge in. With the actions
06:46
of Hamas, the Israeli government escalating the conflict, and settlement building being accelerated
06:53
in the West Bank. The hope of a two-state solution is fading. But we cannot let that light go out.
07:04
That is why we are building consensus with leaders in the region and beyond around our framework
07:12
for peace. This is a practical plan to bring people together behind a common vision and a series
07:21
of steps, including the reform of the Palestinian Authority, that takes us from a ceasefire in Gaza
07:29
together to negotiations on a two-state solution. We will keep driving this forward. As part of this
07:40
effort, I set out in July the terms upon which we would act in line with our manifesto to recognize
07:50
Palestinian statehood. That moment has now arrived. So today, to revive the hope of peace and a two-state
08:03
solution, I state clearly, as Prime Minister of this great country, that the United Kingdom formally
08:14
recognizes the state of Palestine. We recognize the state of Israel more than 75 years ago as a homeland
08:25
for the Jewish people. Today, we join over 150 countries who recognize a Palestinian state also.
08:35
A pledge to the Palestinian and Israeli people that there can be a better future.
08:46
I know the strength of feeling that this conflict provokes. We have seen it on our streets,
08:53
in our schools, in conversations we've had with friends and family. It has created division.
09:02
Some have used it to stoke hatred and fear. But that solves nothing. Not only must we reject hate,
09:14
we must redouble our efforts to combat hatred in all its forms. We must channel our efforts,
09:22
united together in hope, behind the peaceful future that we want to see.
09:28
We are for the release of the hostages, an end to the violence, an end to the suffering,
09:35
and a shift back towards a two-state solution, as the best hope for peace and security for all sides.
09:45
The president that happened in the United Kingdom, bringing youth the news in a more digital world.
