Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada’s intent to recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations. Supporting a two-state solution, Carney emphasized peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. Canada will actively participate in next week’s UN High-Level Conference in New York. The move follows France’s similar declaration, sparking global debate. Carney also condemned Israel’s failure to prevent Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. Hamas welcomed France’s recognition as a step toward justice and Palestinian self-determination. Israel, however, strongly opposed the initiative, citing security concerns. Canada’s shift signals growing international momentum toward Palestinian statehood amid escalating tensions in the region. (PC: The Times Of Israel & Financial Times)
