Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that his government will formally recognize the State of Palestine in September 2025, aligning with international efforts to promote a two-state solution.
Speaking at a press conference, Carney emphasized Canada’s commitment to justice, human rights, and lasting peace in the Middle East. “The Palestinian people deserve their legitimate rights, and the international community must act decisively,” he said. The decision follows similar moves by France, Britain, and Malta, reinforcing global support for Palestinian statehood.
Analysts view Canada’s announcement as a significant diplomatic step, likely to bolster Palestine’s international standing. Carney’s statement came shortly after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other European leaders affirmed their recognition of Palestine.
