Canada to Recognise Palestinian State at UN, Aligning with France
PALESTINE, JUL 30 – Canada joins France in supporting Palestinian statehood amid ongoing Gaza conflict, with the UK conditioning recognition on Israel's ceasefire, officials said.
- Canada will officially acknowledge Palestine as a state during the 80th United Nations General Assembly session scheduled for September 2025.
- Canada's decision follows the erosion of the peace process caused by Israeli settlement expansion and aims to uphold a two-state solution.
- France and the United Kingdom have made similar recognition plans, while Israel condemned these moves as rewarding terrorism and distorting international pressure.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada's recognition depends on Palestinian reforms, including Abbas's pledge to hold 2026 elections excluding Hamas and to demilitarise the state.
- Palestinian Authority President Abbas welcomed the recognition as a historic decision, and the move reflects growing international momentum despite ongoing regional conflict.
