US President Donald Trump, during his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, said recognizing it as a state would be tantamount to "rewarding" Hamas for its atrocities. Trump said those who want peace should unite behind a message that Hamas should release its hostages now.

Canada, Australia and the UK recently granted Palestine statehood. Trump meanwhile criticized European countries for continuing to buy oil and gas from Russia and said he would not move to impose new sanctions on Moscow until European countries stop their purchases from Russia.

He also said that the US was fully prepared to impose heavy tariffs on Russia if it did not agree to a peace deal but said that European countries would have to join us in taking the same steps.
