‘Gifted Hamas War Incentives, Ruined Peace': Israel Minister Slams Nations Backing Palestinian State
/ Aug 06, 2025, 12:03PM IST
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has accused countries that recently pledged to recognise a Palestinian state of sabotaging a potential ceasefire with Hamas. Speaking at the UN, Sa'ar claimed these governments handed Hamas 'free gifts' and political incentives, directly undermining hostage negotiations and prolonging the war. He warned that international pressure must be aimed at Hamas, not Israel, and condemned recent hostage videos as evidence of Hamas's continued cruelty. His comments follow growing global support for Palestinian statehood, with several Western nations declaring recognition plans for later this year.#Israel #Hamas #Palestine #CeasefireCrisis #GideonSaar #UNSpeech #MiddleEastConflict #Hostages #RecognitionDebate #BreakingNews
