TORONTO (AP) — Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.

Carney convened a Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza. It came after he discussed the crisis with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer who. announced a similiar move on Tuesday.
Leaders are under mounting pressure over the issue as scenes of hunger in Gaza have horrified so many.
“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.”
Pressure to formally recognize Palestinian statehood has mounted since French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country will become the first major Western power to recognize a Palestinian state in September.
As with France and the U.K., Canadian recognition would be largely symbolic, but it’s part of a broader global shift against Israel and could increase diplomatic pressure for an end to the conflict.
More than 140 countries recognize a Palestinian state, including a dozen in Europe. Macron’s announcement last week made France the first Group of Seven country — and the largest in Europe — to take that step.
Israel should recognize France, UK and now Canada as a Palestinian States, and ship off all those who want to live to there – then level Gaza.
I think that if Canada recognizes a palestinian state, the US should get up at the UN and recognize Canada as a 51st state..
When a cow will talk , the Arabs are going to embrace democracy
I bet you, when they had the retreat in Canada last month, these three stooges Carney Macron and Starmer schemed between themselves to do this.
These fools are the most shallow we’ve ever seen. Now three of them.
Weak leaders.
They will also recognize Unicornia and Fairy Tooth Land
The rush among uber-liberal Western governments to recognize the Nazis of our time as legitimate players on the world stage betrays the hatred, confusion, and inversion of reality upon which wokeism is built.
Seems like its NOT a good idea to throw yeshiva boys in jail; the more the Israelis afflict and degrade these mighty servants of Hashem, the more the wicked nations of the world empower and uplift Israel’s enemies, who are the lowest of the low.
Bottom line: France, the UK, and Canada wish to reward Hamas and their collaborators for the heinous Simchas Torah terrorist attacks.
Big joke, who cares as long as Israel is in control of Judaea & Semiria
They can declare recognition of Palestinian state until they drop dead
Mean zero
Great. So Israel won’t have to supply them with electricity, food, or water. They’ll have to produce everything on their own. Tremendous.
What are the Borders of this new state ?
A governor can’t make international policy, only the state department can..
Hamas Nazi Carney joins Hamas Nazi Starmer and Hamas Nazi Macron, because they are 3 evil scum Jew haters. The left always support the terrorists because the left are Jew hating scum. It is the same here, the democrats are all Hamas Nazi Supporters, like Hamas Nazi Warren, Hamas Nazi Van Hollen, Hamas Nazi King, Hamas Nazi Welch and the rest of the Hamas Nazi Democrats. Anyone voting for a democrat is voting for a member of the Hamas Nazi Party.
The more Bibi and his government show that it bothers them, we will be seeing more countries that are going to play this game because they have such a hatred for Bibi and they’ll say and do anything that will get Bibi mad.
As Trump said the other day referring to France ‘it’s not going to make any difference what Macron says’.. the same goes with all these so called leaders. Actually if I was Bibi I would do something that will make them mad – and there’s plenty Bibi could do, he just needs guts…
Hashem is in charge, not these sad excuses for leaders.
Trump recognizes Canada to be 51st state. So there you go. Two equally moronic statements.
What are the boundaries of a “palestinian ” state?
It’s time we cancel our vocations to Canada
if MICHAEL FARHI was there all this would have never happened!!!
Netanyahu is the worst thing ever to happen to Israel….a permanent international pariah thanks to him
Bibi has done more to create a Palestine than Arafat. And kill democracy in Israel at the same time.
