PM plans Palestine recognition
Bangkok Post
|August 01, 2025
Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday, a major policy shift that drew an angry response from US President Donald Trump and was rejected by Israel.
-
Mr Carney said the move was necessary to preserve hopes of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a longstanding Canadian goal that was “being eroded before our eyes.”
“Canada intends to recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025,” the prime minister said.
This makes Canada — a G7 nation — the third country, following recent announcements by France and the United Kingdom, to signal plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September.
Mr Carney said the worsening suffering of civilians in Gaza left “no room for delay in coordinated international action to support peace.”
Israel blasted Canada’s announcement as part of a “distorted campaign of international pressure,” while Mr Trump warned that trade negotiations with Ottawa may not proceed smoothly.
