Tel Aviv, Israel, September 21, 2025, 7:00 PM — Regnum News Agency. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced this on September 21.

Netanyahu commented on statements by Great Britain, Canada, and Australia regarding international recognition of Palestine. He stated that Tel Aviv would respond to calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state at a conference of world leaders.

"We will have to fight both at the UN and in all other venues against the slanderous propaganda directed against us and against calls for the creation of a Palestinian state, which would threaten our existence and become an absurd reward for terrorism," The Times of Israel quotes the Israeli prime minister as saying.

On September 21, the governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada announced their recognition of Palestinian statehood. At the same time, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Hamas should not participate in the country's governance.

Hamas welcomes the recognition of Palestine by a number of Western countries
Gaza, Palestine, September 21, 2025, 8:08 PM — Regnum News Agency. The recognition of Palestine by several Western countries is an important step affirming the Palestinian people's right to their land. This was announced by the Hamas movement on September 21.

The movement considers the recognition of Palestine a step towards the creation of an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem.

"This is a tribute to the struggle, resilience and sacrifices of our people on the road to liberation and the return to their lands," Hamas said in a statement.

According to the movement's representatives, recognition of Palestine must be accompanied by practical measures. These measures, they believe, should lead to an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip and oppose annexation plans in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

A political scientist has revealed the true purpose of Western countries recognizing Palestine.

Moscow, September 21, 2025, 6:56 PM — Regnum News Agency. Western countries' recognition of Palestinian statehood is a move against Israel in an attempt to persuade Israelis not to allow further deterioration in security in the Middle East. This was stated by political scientist and expert on interethnic conflicts Yevgeny Mikhailov in an interview with Regnum News Agency on Sunday, September 21.

On September 21, the governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada announced their recognition of Palestinian statehood. At the same time, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Hamas should not participate in the country's governance.

"This is a demarche to the Jewish state, which currently knows no boundaries. It's an attempt to bring the Israelis to their senses, to say that no one will allow further deterioration of security in the Middle East. Precisely because Israel's actions now could lead to a major war, including with Egypt and other Arab states. Trying to preserve certain opportunities in the Middle East and at least some stability, Western countries are declaring their recognition of a Palestinian state," the political scientist stated.

The expert also noted that Western countries could have decided to recognize Palestine after Israel struck Hamas representatives in Qatar. This strike, according to the agency's source, demonstrated that there are no safe places in the Middle East.

"Israel strikes wherever it pleases. It's no coincidence that, against this backdrop, we see mutual agreements between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which is vehemently opposed to Israel and its actions. And, accordingly, the situation is escalating. Of course, this doesn't sit well with international players, and they're already fearful of the consequences. Even though they largely support the Israeli state, the Israeli actions could have very dire consequences for everyone, including those who support them," the political scientist explained.

In July, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he would formally declare Palestine's recognition at the UN General Assembly, as he sees ending the war in the Gaza Strip and providing aid to civilians in the region as his top priority. He argued that this decision was justified by the opportunity to exert pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The 80th session of the UN General Assembly began on September 9. Representatives from 140 states will participate. According to AFP, 10 countries plan to announce their recognition of Palestine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly pointed out that Israel was established as a state based on a UN resolution, which also envisages the creation of a Palestinian state. He believes that without this step, it will be impossible to achieve a settlement in the region.
