The Canadian government has officially announced its recognition of the Palestinian state, according to international news agencies. This decision follows through on earlier statements from Prime Minister Mark Stone, who had indicated in recent weeks that such recognition would occur during September.
The move aligns Canada with other Western nations that have recently taken similar steps. Both French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer have previously expressed their governments’ intentions to formally recognize Palestinian statehood.
This diplomatic development represents a significant shift in Canada’s Middle East policy and reflects growing international momentum toward Palestinian state recognition among Western powers. The decision is expected to have implications for Canada’s diplomatic relations in the region and its role in Middle East peace efforts.
