- For the first time, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have condemned Hamas and called for its disarmament and exclusion from Palestinian governance.
- This development follows Sir Keir Starmer’s ultimatum demanding Israel end the Gaza conflict by September to allow Palestinian state recognition.
- The call was supported by 14 other nations, including the UK and France, urging Hamas to transfer weapons to the Palestinian Authority.
- The UK’s conditional stance on recognition faced backlash from former hostages and opposition parties concerned it rewards terrorism.
