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.

      Funny how you suddenly care about “other conflicts” suddenly when we talk about the conflict you don’t like.

      Kinda like you suddenly care a lot about gay rights when it comes to bombing iran

      You’re transparent af

      I don’t know, why would the world be glued to an active genocide the media and our politicians told us for decades isn’t happening?

      Why should people in the West care about an ongoing Western colonial project committing ethnic cleansing and genocide?

      Ok, we should talk about those, too. But very much we should talk about this one, especially since a lot of our tax money goes to propping the oppressors up.
