Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that his country plans to recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations.

In a Friday post on X, Carney stated: “Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.” He added that Ottawa “will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.

The Prime Minister also said that Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian adisaster in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron declared his intention to recognise the State of Palestine in September 2025.

In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the move, saying that the establishment of a Palestinian state would pose a threat to Israel’s security.

Meanwhile, the Hamas movement welcomed Macron’s intention to recognise Palestine during the UN General Assembly in September.

Hamas described the move as a positive step in the right direction towards justice for the oppressed Palestinian people and support for their legitimate right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all of its occupied territory, with Jerusalem as its capital.

      They also have a video / audio of US military contractors firing on Palestinian people after they have retrieved food to “disperse” the crowd. And one american shouted “you got one”. The video is taken behind a hill so you don’t see the commotion. The video was leaked by a merc that had a sense of conscience.

      And Israel, to disperse hungry Palestinians entering the aid area before it was actually open, were fired on by an Israeli Tank. Firing a tank shell into a crowd is not crowd dispersion, its just murder.

        Europe decided Jews weren’t safe in Europe so gave up some of their colonial land in order to create a settler ethnostate in the most religiously significant region in the world.
