<p>Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, Canada, and Australia.</p><p>"After the atrocities of October 7, while Hamas continues its campaign of terror, and while it continues to cruelly hold 48 hostages in the tunnels and dungeons of Gaza, the recognition of a Palestinian state by some nations today is, not surprisingly, cheered by Hamas," the President stated on Sunday.</p><p>"It will not help one Palestinian, it won’t help free one hostage, and it will not help us reach any settlement between Israelis and Palestinians. It will only embolden the forces of darkness. This is a sad day for those who seek true peace," he concluded.</p>

<p>The Orthodox Union, the largest umbrella organization of Orthodox Jews in America, condemned multiple countries announcing recognition of a Palestinian state.</p><p>"The announcement by several countries, including the UK, France, Canada and Australia, in support of recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of the Two State Solution conference this week represents a profound strategic and moral failure. Israel left Gaza in 2005 and the Palestinians used the opportunity to build a radical enclave committed to Israel's destruction, as they made clear on October 7. Hamas has celebrated the recognition of Palestinian statehood as the product of October 7. It is patently obvious that rewarding terrorism undermines the very foundation of peace. Recognition of statehood under these conditions does not advance coexistence; it legitimizes extremism and communicates that terror works. Peace can only be built when both parties are ready to accept the existence of the other. Israel will always welcome Arabs while the Palestinian territories are by law Judenrein, places where Jews are banned and will remain Judenrein”</p>

True peace will never come from international shortcuts or symbolic gestures. It will only come when there is a rejection of violence, when the incitement ends from Hamas. Opinion.
