Canada's Shift: Recognition of Palestinian State in the UN
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations. This shift aims to maintain the feasibility of a two-state solution. The move follows conditions on Palestinian governance and elections and arises amid worsening conditions in Gaza and political dynamics in Israel.
In a landmark decision, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday that Canada is preparing to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations this September.
The move diverges from Canada's longstanding policy of contingent recognition post-peace talks with Israel, now driven by pressing conditions on the ground, noted Carney.
Carney emphasized that the recognition hinges on the Palestinian Authority's commitment to comprehensive reforms and elections without Hamas, against a backdrop of escalating tensions in Gaza and Israeli settlement expansions.
