BBC News, Toronto
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September, becoming the third G7 nation to make such an announcement in recent days.
Carney said the move depended on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas.
Israel’s foreign ministry rejected Canada’s announcement, calling it “a reward for Hamas”, while US President Donald Trump said it would make a possible trade deal between the US and Canada “very hard”.
However, most countries – 147 of the UN’s 193 member states – formally recognise a Palestinian state.
Carney said Canada would formally recognise the state of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly.
He cited the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, and the 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas as reasons behind Canada’s dramatic shift in foreign policy.
His remarks came a day after the UK announced it would recognise a Palestinian state in September – unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire and other conditions – and a week after France unveiled a similar plan.
“The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable and it is rapidly deteriorating,” Carney told reporters on Wednesday.
He said a recognition of Palestinian statehood would hinge on commitments by the Palestinian Authority to fundamentally reform its governance and to demilitarise the territory.
Canada had long been committed to a two-state solution as part of a negotiated peace process, Carney said, but he added “this approach is no longer tenable”.
“The prospect of a Palestinian state is being eroded before our eyes,” he said.
Carney told the news conference he had spoken with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier on Wednesday about the announcement.
The Palestinian Authority controls parts of the West Bank through the Fatah party, led by Abbas, while Hamas runs Gaza. Neither territory has held an election since 2006.
Carney’s announcement was criticised by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It said in a post on X that Canada’s plan “harms the efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of the hostages”.
Canada’s Conservatives also took issue with Carney’s announcement.
“Recognising a Palestinian state in the aftermath of the October 7 terrorist atrocities sends the wrong message to the world,” the opposition party said in a statement.
The prime minister has been under pressure to address Palestinian statehood since the UK and France – close allies of Canada – came out with their own statements on the issue in recent days.
The US, a close ally of Israel, has not followed suit. On Thursday, Trump posted on his Truth Social network: “Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them.”
Canada is one of the largest US trading partners, and the White House is in talks with a number of countries before Friday, when a range of US tariffs kick in.
Nearly 200 former Canadian ambassadors and diplomats signed a letter on Tuesday calling on Carney to recognise a Palestinian state.
Canada’s principles, the letter said, “are being abandoned daily with the massive displacement, indiscriminate bombardment and starvation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the violent attacks by extremist settlers in the West Bank”.
Asked whether he was influenced by the UK and France’s announcements, or whether he had consulted US President Donald Trump, Carney responded that Canada made its own foreign policy decisions.
If France and the UK do formally recognise Palestinian statehood, the US – a strong ally of Israel – will be the only permanent member of the UN Security Council not to do so.
Access to news and social media is extremely limited in Gaza, but some Palestinians in the territory expressed a mixture of gratitude and cautious hope at the developments.
Imad Abu Shawish, a journalist in Gaza, wrote on his Facebook page: “Another slap to Israel – this time from Canada after France and the UK. Every recognition brings us a step closer to our dream of an independent state.”
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
More than 60,000 people have since been killed in Gaza, and 154 people, including 89 children, have died from malnutrition, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

Timetables and bus service information are available from
Metro Tasmania. I think the hotel needs a lot of updating
to make the look more appealing but recently
the casino has been going through some small refurbishments so hopefully they will look at
the hotel soon. When living in Launceston I was very thankful that there was a casino even though the city is
quite small, and being a poker player after online poker was shut down in Australia, I loved being
able to play poker here. Following sister property Wrest
Point in Hobart, Launceston’s casino became Tasmania’s
second to open, and Australia’s third. There’s a variety
of accommodation choices, including hotel rooms, accommodation for
business travellers and luxury suites in the resort complex.
Backed by Tasmania’s first casino, the team was more a marketing tool than a sporting powerhouse.
But few are as strange, surprising, or beloved as Launceston City Casino, a team
from regional Tasmania, backed by gambling money, and thrown into a rapidly evolving
national competition. All of our positions require
either a uniform or business attire to be worn at all times.
Contact the Talent Acquisition team on Our team is passionate about creating exceptional hospitality and entertainment experiences for our customers.
Wrest Point also features blackjack tournaments that follow a three elimination rounds then a final table round format, over one full day.
Don’t miss a second of the action, grab your mates, grab a beer, and cheer your
team to victory! Take a comfortable seat and order from an excellent range of
quality wines, cocktails, craft beer and top-shelf spirits –
or tune into great sporting action on the big screens. This casino complex is well worth visiting if you are
in the Launceston area. Yes, the sports bar has betting facilities, although we recommend the top betting sites for all your racing and sports wagering needs.
