Canada intends to recognize Palestinian state at UN General Assembly: Carney • FRANCE 24 English
It’s an announcement that ramps up pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu’s government as the humanitarian situation in Gaza grows increasingly dire. Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025. Carney added that the move depends on reforms including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas. Let’s go back to where along with the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Connie cited the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as a reason behind the plan. Canada is the third G7 country to make such an announcement in recent days. The UK has insisted it will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a Gaza ceasefire and other conditions. and France revealed a similar plan last week. As it did with the French and British statements, Israel’s government has denounced Connie’s remarks. The change in the position of the Canadian government at this time is a reward for Hamas and harms the efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of the hostages. The US, Israel’s closest ally, also rejected the plan. If the UK and France do formally recognize Palestinian statethood, the US will be the sole permanent member of the UN Security Council not to do so. The announcements come amid mounting international concern over Israel’s restrictions on aid to Gaza in its war against Hamas. With the conflict continuing to take a toll on the territory civilian population, according to a global hunger monitor, a worst case scenario of famine is unfolding in Gaza.
Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on July 30, a major policy shift that drew an angry response from US President Donald Trump and was rejected by Israel.

Finally. Long overdue.
Canada should recognise Canada / Canadians
The US would definitely be the last.
I’ll believe it only when it happens.
Canada is listening to Canadians and will be remembered for being on the right side of history
recognizing something that does not exist is the sign of a delusional mind.
Reminder: The Jewish people are an indigenous tribe of the Holy Land. Not occupiers. Not colonizers.
Liberalism is a Mental Disorder ! 😵💫
Soon, Canada will be beyond recognizing itself
