Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad on Saturday hailed Canadian, British, and French plans to recognize a Palestinian state as “the fruits of October 7,” crediting Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel with growing Western support for such a state.
“Why are all the countries recognizing a Palestinian state today?” Hamad, a senior member of the Hamas politburo, asked during a Saturday interview on Al Jazeera, according to a translation by the Times of Israel. “Before October 7, did any country dare recognize a Palestinian state?”
