U.S. President Donald Trump has denounced in his speech to the UN General Assembly this Tuesday that the recognition of the State of Palestine by several countries is a "reward" for Hamas.

"We can't forget October 7. And now, as if it were to provoke a permanent conflict, do some of this organization want to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state? The reward would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities," Trump said in his speech.

The United States President has taken advantage of his speech to respond to the decisionof ten countries, including France, Belgium, Canada and the United Kingdom, to recognize the State of Palestine at high-level meetings held at the UN headquarters in New York.

157 countries already recognize the Stateof Palestine, a large majority among the 193 UN countries.

Trump has accused Hamas of refusing to "release the hostages or accept a ceasefire," and has ensured that "reasonable offers to make peace have been repeatedly rejected."

"This could have been resolved a long time ago, but instead of yielding to Hamas's rescue requests, those who want peace should join one message: release the hostages now," Trump added.

On Monday, the Islamist group asked the US president to secure a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of half of the hostages held captive in the Gaza Strip, Fox News reported.

The proposal was formalized in a letter that Hamas handed over to Egypt and Qatar, the mediators, for transmission to the US president.

Violations of peace committed by Israel

Although Trump has accused Hamas of refusing to accept a ceasefire, the truth is that most of the time an agreement has been reached, Israel has violated it.

The final treaty was adopted by Hamas on 18 August, when 10 Israeli hostages were released in exchange for massive aid to the enclave to alleviate the serious humanitarian crisis caused by the famine that Israel is causing by the blockade.

But Israel did not heed the proposal, and went on to take the city of Gaza.

an independent UN commission, human rights rapporteurs, NGOs and more and more countries have described the Israeli military offensive against the Gaza Strip as genocide, which has already claimed the lives of more than 65,200 Palestinians, including more than 19,000 children.

However, the United Nations rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanes, has ensured that the number of deaths in Gaza could increase tenfold, according to various sources.
