Canada joins UK, France in recognizing Palestinian state
PALESTINE, JUL 31 – Canada joins France and the UK in recognizing Palestine at the UN, citing a two-state solution and requiring Palestinian political reforms and demilitarization, amid 147 nations already recognizing Palestine.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations summit in September, joining France and the United Kingdom.
- Amid mounting humanitarian concerns, Carney said the two-state solution was 'no longer tenable' due to Hamas terrorism, Israeli settlement expansion, and Gaza's crisis last week.
- Conditioned on commitments, the Palestinian Authority must hold elections next year, exclude Hamas, and demilitarize the Palestinian state, Carney said.
- Israel's ambassador Iddo Moed said 'Let us be clear: Israel will not bow to the distorted campaign of international pressure against it' amid US threats of a 35% tariff hike if trade talks fail by August 1.
- Reflecting broad support, Canada’s decision may strain relations with the United States and President Donald Trump, as 147 United Nations member states already recognize a Palestinian state.
