Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September in latest push against Israel's Gaza policies
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September, the latest development in a push against Israel’s Gaza policies.
TORONTO (AP) — Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday, the latest in a series of symbolic announcements that are part of a broader global shift against Israel’s policies in Gaza.
Carney convened a Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in the battered Palestinian territory. He said it came after he discussed the crisis with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer who announced a similar move on Tuesday.
Leaders are under mounting pressure over the issue as scenes of hunger in Gaza have horrified so many across the world. “The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable,” Carney said.
“Canada intends to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025,” Carney said — a move that he said was predicated on the Palestinian Authority “holding general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state.”
Every country that recognizes Palestine, should be required to pay for its upkeep, since it’s a 100% welfare state, fully financed via other countries / UN welfare payments.
If a country needs welfare to function as it has no GDP / industry/ food production etc…it’s not a country, it’s a gigantic homeless camp with better plumbing.
Canada is the Special ED class of North America.
Go ahead Canada, align with the EU and see where it gets you trade wise.
