\r\n\tCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday that the country will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September<\/strong><\/p>

This decision is a new diplomatic blow to Israel, which is facing growing international criticism due to the war in Gaza.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nCarney explained that recognition depends on important reforms by the Palestinian Authority, such as holding elections in 2026, measures against corruption, and the creation of a demilitarized Palestinian state.<\/p>

\r\nHe acknowledged that these changes are a major challenge and will not happen in the short term.<\/p>

\r\nEven so, Canada wants to support the possibility of a two-state solution (one for Israel and one for Palestine).\r\n<\/p>

\r\nCanada has consistently maintained that it would only recognize a Palestinian state after peace negotiations with Israel.<\/p>

\r\nHowever, Carney emphasized that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including growing hunger, and other factors such as the threat from Hamas, the expansion of Israeli settlements, and a vote in the Israeli parliament in favor of annexing the Judea-Samaria, have changed the country’s position.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nCarney criticized the Israeli government, saying it had allowed a “catastrophe” in Gaza.<\/p>

\r\nIn response, the Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected the announcement, saying the decision “rewards Hamas” and undermines negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages.<\/p>

\r\nIsrael’s ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, said the country “will not bow to distorted international pressure” and that recognizing a Palestinian state without a responsible government legitimizes “Hamas’ barbarism.”\r\n<\/p>

\r\nMeanwhile, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas praised Canada’s decision as “historic” and said it could promote peace, stability, and security in the region.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nCanada’s announcement follows similar decisions by other G7 countries, such as France and the United Kingdom, which also plan to recognize Palestine in September.<\/p>

\r\nDissatisfaction with the humanitarian situation in Gaza has been growing among Israel’s allies.<\/p>

\r\nMalta, a member of the European Union, also announced its recognition of the Palestinian state.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nFormer Ambassador Emmanuel Nahshon said these statements are more symbolic but serve to show disapproval of the Israeli government’s actions in both Gaza and the Judea-Samaria, where extremist settlers have been given free rein.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe United Kingdom, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, announced on Tuesday that it will recognize Palestine in September unless Israel takes concrete steps to end the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.<\/p>

\r\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision, calling it a “reward for Hamas terrorism.”\r\n<\/p>

\r\nLast week, French President Emmanuel Macron surprised by announcing that France would also recognize Palestine in September, without offering Israel any conditions to avoid the decision.<\/p>

\r\nHe has encouraged other leaders, such as Starmer, to follow suit, amid concerns about famine in Gaza.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nHowever, not all European countries support recognition.<\/p>

\r\nGermany, a close ally of Israel, has said it has no plans to recognize Palestine in the short term, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the move “counterproductive.” Countries such as Norway, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia have already recognized Palestine since the beginning of the Gaza conflict, as have other nations outside Europe.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nSome 145 countries already recognize or plan to recognize the Palestinian state.<\/p>

\r\nIn the US, President Donald Trump has stated that he will not recognize Palestine, as doing so would be “rewarding Hamas.” He has said his focus is on combating hunger in Gaza, with a plan to create food distribution centers in the region, although details have not yet been released.<\/p>

\r\nAn Israeli official stated that he was unaware of any such initiative.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe White House has maintained a neutral stance, not attempting to prevent other countries from recognizing Palestine, while Israel has hoped for more active US support against such decisions.
