French President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to officially recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
When asked if Prime Minister Mark Carney would take a similar step, his office declined to comment directly and instead pointed to a recent post in which Carney reiterated Canada’s backing of a two-state solution aimed at ensuring peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
