‘When, not if’: Australia’s position as Canada, Britain and France move to recognise Palestine statehood
PALESTINE, JUL 30 – Australia joins Canada, Britain, and France in backing Palestinian statehood recognition tied to reforms by the Palestinian Authority and aims to support a two-state peace solution.
- On Thursday, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said “From an Australian point of view, recognition of the state of Palestine is a matter of when, not if,” amid international moves to back the plan.
- Canada has joined France and Britain in plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September 2025, contingent on reforms by the Palestinian Authority including elections in 2026, demilitarisation, and Hamas exclusion.
- Amid growing international momentum, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss Gaza, agree on using momentum to secure a ceasefire, release hostages, and ensure Hamas’s exclusion from a future state.
- However, Australia has stopped short of formally declaring support at the United Nations in September, citing remaining obstacles despite conditions that could enable quick movement.
- With civilian suffering mounting, supporting peace over violence and honouring the peaceful co-existence of Israel and Palestine leaves no room for delay in international action.
