'Israeli' president calls recognition of Palestinian state ‘sad day’ for peace seekers

'Israel's' President Isaac Herzog claimed that the recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Canada and Australia was detrimental to those seeking peace between 'Israelis' and Palestinians.

"It will not help one Palestinian, it won't help free one hostage, and it will not help us reach any settlement between Israelis and Palestinians," Herzog said in a statement.

"It will only embolden the forces of darkness. This is a sad day for those who seek true peace."
