Canada Sets Conditions for Palestine Recognition at UN

News summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, joining the UK and France in a notable shift among G7 nations. The recognition is conditional on the Palestinian Authority implementing substantial reforms, excluding Hamas from any government role, and organizing general elections in 2026. Carney cited the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the declining viability of a two-state solution as motivations for this policy change. Israel's foreign ministry strongly condemned the announcement, arguing it rewards Hamas and undermines ceasefire efforts. The decision marks a departure from Canada's previous approach and follows mounting international and domestic advocacy, including an open letter from nearly 200 Canadian diplomats. Over 140 countries already recognize Palestine, making Canada's move symbolically significant among Western allies.
