Israel pleaded with Britain to postpone recognition of a Palestinian state until hostages were released, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. According to the report, the Israeli government urgently pressed London, behind the scenes of hostage release negotiations, not to proceed with unconditional recognition of a Palestinian state. Israel argued that such recognition could hinder sensitive negotiations and seal the fate of those still held captive, potentially preventing their return.
An Israeli government official told the Wall Street Journal, "During the hostage negotiations, Israel begged Britain not to recognize a Palestinian state unconditionally, because it could harm the remaining hostages and endanger their lives." Despite these warnings, then-Prime Minister Keir Starmer proceeded with his plan.
Twenty-two days later, the remaining hostages were released under a ceasefire agreement brokered by Donald Trump. However, at the time of the British Prime Minister's decision, the fate of the hostages remained uncertain, and neither he nor the anxiously awaiting families knew if they would ever return home.
