Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Wednesday.
“Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution, an independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security,” said Carney, flanked by Foreign Minister Anita Anand.
The move follows similar announcements by France, which has said it will recognize a Palestinian state in September, and the UK, which has said that it will too if Israel does not meet conditions that include agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations,” Carney said. “We intend to do so because the Palestinian Authority has committed to lead much needed reform.”
Carney added that the Palestinian Authority’s President Mahmoud Abbas assured him that his administration will hold long-delayed elections in 2026 in which Hamas will “play no part.”
“(Abbas) has also committed to not militarizing the state of Palestine,” Carney added.
Canada’s announcement comes at a time of renewed international attention on the war in Gaza, especially the ongoing hunger crisis caused by Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid.
“Canada will always steadfastly support Israel’s existence as an independent state in the Middle East, living in peace and security,” Carney said. “Any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires a viable and stable Palestinian state and one that recognizes Israel’s inalienable right to security.”
Carney’s announcement came after the Canadian leader spoke to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer about Gaza on Tuesday, a fact Carney mentioned on Wednesday.

Why wait? My guess is they are posturing and want an off ramp.
Of course he does. Idiot. I hope President Trump socks it to him (us) good. The 51st is looking better and better all the time.
What are the borders of this state Canada?
From the river to the sea?
Awarding Terrorists is the way of the Left
The “Palestinians” have continually been offered a two state solution and they have continually rejected it. They have no desire for peace.
Big whoop!
Who cares when a rotten kid stomps its feet?
anther A-hole politician on the take for the IslamoNazi $$$, to make a da**ed fool of himself threatening an ally about maybe “recognizing” a Fakestinian terrorist murder gang
presumably this might even mean that Hamaz/PLO or whatever will be allowed to send their “reps” (moles, spies, saboteurs, disrputers...) into Canada freely?
what an embarrassment (and yes, increased danger) for the great people of Canada! We hope they will see fit to get a new, morally decent government SOON!
Canada formally surrenders to the Terrorists.
Exactly, what are the borders? Arafat never went along with this and admitted why—he would be killed for doing so. It will never happen unless Israel disappears.
A Message from Amir Tsarfati
**********************
Just as God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, leading him to make a mistake that changed world history, Western countries announcing their intention to recognize a Palestinian state are being used by God to harden the heart of Hamas. This euphoria leads Hamas to reject all deals, thereby hastening its own demise.
Canada will follow what its colonial masters in London, Brussels and Davos command.
Did Carney not get the message... The Gaza strip is going to be Trumpland... Hotels, casinos, golf courses... I’m not sure what state he’s referring to or where it will be... But the Gaza strip is being reserved for Trump.
Who?
What is a “Palestinian” and where is “Palestine”?
Carney is like 4’7’
hamass terrorist baby raping vagina shooters for the win!
“….ongoing hunger crisis caused by Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid…”
That is a f***ing lie.
