Canada plans to formally recognize Palestine as a state at the UN General Assembly in September
It is the third G-7 country, together with France and the United Kingdom, to announce recognition of the Palestinian state, which Trump has warned "complicates the trade agreement."
Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to formally recognizePalestine at the UN General Assembly to be held in September , provided that the Palestinian National Authority approves reforms such as the holding of general elections in 2026 without the participation of Hamas.
"This intention is based on the commitment of President Mahmoud Abbas to a thorough reform of his governance , conditional on reforms so necessary by the Palestinian National Authority, including the commitment to holding general elections in 2026 without the participation of Hamas, and the demilitarization of the Palestinian State, "Carney said.
In this regard, Carney has stressed that Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution, yet has lamented that the threat of Hamas terrorism against Israel and its long-standing violent stance against the two-state solution have seriously delayed that solution.
Abbas welcomes Carney's decision as a "historic step" and a "courageous stancethat will improve peace, stability, and security, "while the Israeli Government criticizes the decision as a" reward for Hamas. "
In this context, U.S. President Donald Trump US has responded to the Canadian Prime Minister and warned that this decision "will make it very difficult" to reach a trade agreement between the two countries.
"Wow, Canada has just announced that it supports the creation of a Palestinian state, which will make it very difficult for us to reach a trade agreement with them. Oh, Canada!" Trump said in a statement on the Truth Social network, before the US tariffs announced came into effect.
Following the UN conference in New York, a fortnight of countries, including Spain, called on the international community to reach a comprehensive agreement between international countries to officially recognize the State of Palestine, while expressing their willingness to move forward "collectively" to end the Israeli offensive and "achieve a two-state solution that will end this conflict."
British PrimeMinister Keir Starmer announced that he will accept Palestine if Israel does not accept a ceasefire and does not put an end to the "terrible situation" in Palestine. Days earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said he would take this step in September "faithful to his historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East."
