Canada intends to recognize Palestinian state in September, Prime Minister Carney says

Описание:

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will formally recognize a Palestinian state in September at the UN General Assembly, aligning with similar moves by France and the UK. Carney said the decision supports a two‑state solution and follows commitments from the Palestinian Authority to reform, hold elections in 2026 excluding Hamas, and avoid militarization. The announcement comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel strongly rejected the move, calling it a reward for Hamas, CNN has reported. Carney emphasized Canada’s continued support for Israel’s security alongside a viable Palestinian state.
