Trump denies he gave UK green light to recognise Palestinian state

Donald Trump has denied giving the UK Prime Minister the go-ahead to recognize a Palestinian state. Trump stated that acknowledging Palestine would be "rewarding Hamas," which he does not support. These comments contradict what he reportedly told UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a meeting earlier in the week. The UK government is considering recognizing a Palestinian state in September at the United Nations General Assembly following public outcry regarding Israel's actions.
