Canada to Recognize Palestinian State at UN in September, Citing Reforms; Delivers Aid to Gaza, Israel Condemns Move

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, contingent upon the Palestinian Authority implementing major reforms. These reforms include holding elections in 2026 without Hamas participation and achieving full demilitarization. This move marks a notable policy shift, positioning Canada as the third G7 country, after France and the United Kingdom, to make such a commitment. The announcement has drawn criticism from Israel, which condemned the decision and characterized it as a reward to Hamas. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas described Canada's decision as historic. In addition to the recognition plans, the Canadian Armed Forces have recently delivered humanitarian aid to Gaza via airdrops, responding to concerns over Israeli restrictions on supplies and alleged violations of international law. Canada’s actions reflect increasing pressure on Israel from its allies regarding the Palestinian issue.
