Trump believes Palestinian recognition rewards Hamas: White House

U.S. President Donald Trump believes the recognition of a Palestinian state by key allies including Britain is effectively rewarding militant group Hamas for its attack on Israel, the White House said Monday.

"Frankly, he believes it's a reward to Hamas. So he believes these decisions are just more talk and not enough action from some of our friends and allies," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing.
