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

Tavsif:

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