Government International Relations
Event Summary

Canada, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, announced its intention to formally recognize the Palestine at the 80th Session of the International — United Nations General Assembly in September 2025. This decision aligns with similar announcements from France and the United Kingdom, and is predicated on the Palestine — Palestinian Authority's commitment to reforms, holding elections in 2026 without Hamas, and demilitarizing the Palestinian state. Israel has strongly condemned Canada's move, viewing it as a reward for Hamas and part of a 'distorted campaign of international pressure.' Former United States President Donald Trump also warned that this decision could negatively impact trade relations between Canada and the United States. The move by Canada is described as crucial to safeguarding the hopes of a two-state solution, which Canada believes is being eroded by 'Hamas terrorism' and the expansion of Israeli settlements.
