Canada will formally recognize a Palestinian state this September, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced. This move aims to bolster efforts toward a two-state solution, a framework for peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Several nations, including France and the United Kingdom, are expected to join Canada in this recognition at the United Nations General Assembly. The decision is contingent on the Palestinian Authority demonstrating commitment to reforms.
Trudeau emphasized that recognizing a Palestinian state is intended to preserve the possibility of a lasting peace. This action reflects growing international pressure for progress in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
