Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the Israeli government for allowing a catastrophe to unfold in Gaza
Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Carney told reporters that the planned move was predicated on the Palestinian Authority's commitment to "much-needed reforms," including commitments to fundamentally reform its governance and to hold general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part.
Carney went on to say that Canada condemns the fact that the Israeli government has allowed a catastrophe to unfold in Gaza, saying that he spoke to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday.
British Prime Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday the U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a cease-fire in Gaza, allows the UN to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace.
