Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that Canada plans to recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, aligning with France and other nations advocating for Palestinian statehood.
Prime Minister Carney confirmed Canada's intention during a recent statement, emphasising support for a two-state solution that ensures peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
He said, "Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians".
This move places Canada among more than 145 countries that have recognised Palestine as a sovereign state.
The decision follows similar declarations by France and Malta and aligns with the 'New York Call' declaration, which advocates for a two-state solution and urges the unification of Gaza and the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority.
The announcement has garnered support from various political factions within Canada. Liberal MPs have publicly called for the government to follow France's lead in recognising Palestine as a state. Additionally, Palestinian Foreign Minister Farsin Aghabekian Shahin expressed appreciation for Canada's stance, highlighting its importance in protecting the two-state solution from further erosion.
However, the decision has also faced criticism. Israeli officials have condemned the move, arguing that it undermines efforts for peace and legitimises terrorism.
As the UN General Assembly approaches, Canada's recognition of Palestine is expected to influence discussions on Middle East diplomacy and the broader international approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
