Starmer said planning to recognize Palestinian state after Trump’s UK visit Times of Israel ^ | September 5, 2025 | September 17, 2025 Posted on 09/17/2025 3:16:17 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state after US President Donald Trump completes his state visit to the United Kingdom, The Times reports. The unsourced report says that Starmer plans to recognize Palestine even before several countries, led by France, will do so at the United Nations summit in New York next week amid concern over the ongoing war in Gaza. The Times says that Starmer is under massive pressure from within his Labour party to make the move, but will hold off on doing so until Trump leaves so that the issue doesn’t dominate a joint press conference planned for Thursday. The US is deeply opposed to the move, saying it would be a reward for the Hamas terror group in the wake of the October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people and saw another 251 taken hostage.

Go for it. Now we can officially certify the Palestinian “state”, as a terrorist state, and one totally washed in NAZI hatred for the Jews. Then proceed to do to this state what the allies did to NAZI Germany. 3 posted on 09/17/2025 3:21:20 PM PDT by LibFreeUSA (how ) To: MinorityRepublican 4 posted on 09/17/2025 3:21:25 PM PDT by rktman (Destroy America from within?

Or never recognize a Palestine state unless it is devoid of muslims! Trump should threaten Starmer with massive pressure against recognition without release of hostages. 5 posted on 09/17/2025 3:22:00 PM PDT by roadcat ( ) To: MinorityRepublican The UK can’t get rid of this moron fast enough. 6 posted on 09/17/2025 3:22:11 PM PDT by Bullish (My tagline ran off with another man, but it's ok---- I wasn't married to it.)

To: MinorityRepublican I think USA needs to recall our ambassador from Uk and apply higher tariffs until the good British people can get a decent, moral government. (If that latter isn’t a contradiction of terms, ha! At least a less perfidious government that isn’t selling Uk and the west out to the Islamic invasion). 10 posted on 09/17/2025 3:35:36 PM PDT by faithhopecharity ("Politicians aren't born, they're excreted."

Because we are no longer sharing the same values with the UK.So might as well as raise them to 50% if they want to sell their products in the U.S. To: MinorityRepublican Israel deported two more "British" MPs (4 total so far, 3 foreign born) who tried to get to the West Bank recently. Israel should also withhold all intelligence from MI6, effective the moment Keir recognizes a Pali terror state. 12 posted on 09/17/2025 3:41:40 PM PDT by montag813 To: MinorityRepublican Idiotic jackass, they had their own state—Gaza! What did they do with it? The phony “Palestinians” used it to try and destroy Israel. The problem is the phony religion of Islam and their pedophile, murderous, thief and liar—Mohammed. Nothing will change as long as the brain dead west will not acknowledge this. 13 posted on 09/17/2025 3:42:57 PM PDT by Fungi To: MinorityRepublican He seems locked into losing and losing big. Quid pro quo? Is Starmer gaining some material benefit for offering such feeble resistance to the building Muslim influence? 14 posted on 09/17/2025 3:45:09 PM PDT by lee martell To: MinorityRepublican 15 posted on 09/17/2025 3:49:06 PM PDT by Vendome (I've Gotta Be Me https://youtu.be/wH-pk2vZG2M) To: MinorityRepublican So why can’t the territory of Palestine that Israel gave them be made the State of Palestine? Wouldn’t that solve the two state solution problem? To: MinorityRepublican Probably announced it after POTUS Trump talk about the bond. Maybe POTUS let’s him know we tight, just not that tight. 17 posted on 09/17/2025 3:55:48 PM PDT by Racketeer To: MinorityRepublican I thought the UK already recognized Jordan... 18 posted on 09/17/2025 4:02:27 PM PDT by PortugeeJoe To: MinorityRepublican Because the world needs another official terrorist state. 19 posted on 09/17/2025 4:08:09 PM PDT by csn vinnie To: antidemoncrat Israel itself is smaller than Maryland or Vermont. Four Israels could fit inside South Carolina. The whole West Bank is a quarter the size of Israel, and the PA only controls part of it.
