Canada will recognise Palestinian state at UN General Assembly: Carney
Al Jazeera
The Canadian PM says Hamas cannot play a role in the future of Palestine or take part in possible 2026 elections.
Canada has joined several Western countries in announcing its intention to recognise a Palestinian state amid the continuing Israeli atrocities unfolding in Gaza.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement on Wednesday.
He explained that Ottawa had hoped that a two-state solution could be achieved through a negotiated peace process, but that approach was “no longer tenable”.
“Canada intends to recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025,” Carney told reporters.
The move follows a similar announcement by the United Kingdom and France earlier this month.
