“Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state ahead of September’s United Nations General Assembly. … The recognition is predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to reform its governance and to hold general elections in 2026 ‘in which Hamas can play no part,’ Carney said. The prime minister said he outlined the conditions with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas ahead of his announcement. Carney also reiterated that Hamas must immediately release all hostages and Hamas must disarm. Israel denounced Carney’s statement. … Canada is the third G7 nation to make such a declaration — actions President Donald Trump has previously criticized.” (07/30/25)
