A major political rift has opened in the UK over a landmark foreign policy decision. Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, has vehemently condemned Prime Minister Keir Starmer's recognition of Palestine as an independent state, labeling the move "absolutely disastrous" and accusing the government of rewarding Hamas while failing to address critical domestic issues.

Key Points:
  • UK PM Keir Starmer announced the recognition of Palestine in a video on X.
  • Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch replied directly, calling the decision "disastrous."
  • She argued it rewards terrorism with no conditions placed on Hamas.
  • Badenoch claimed it does nothing to help hostages or alleviate civilian suffering.
  • She accused Labour of focusing on "left-wing policies" to distract from domestic failures like the NHS and immigration.
  • She referenced Starmer's past decision to pay reparations to Mauritius as poor judgment.
  • The move aligns the UK with over 150 countries but opposes the stance of Israel and the US.
This fierce condemnation turns a moment of international diplomacy into a domestic political storm, highlighting the deep ideological divides that shape global policy.
