Canada will become the latest nation to recognize a Palestinian state amid the ongoing 'human suffering' in Gaza as a result of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday that Canada will formally recognize the state of Palestine in September as part of a broader global shift against Israel's policies in Gaza.
He convened a Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in the battered Palestinian territory.
Carney was inspired to make a change after discussing the crisis with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who announced a similar move on Tuesday.
Scenes of hunger and starvation have trickled out of Gaza amid a longstanding Israeli blockade which is preventing supplies from entering the territory en masse.
