Canada follows France and UK with plan to recognise Palestinian state | BBC News


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 depends on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas.

His remarks come 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.

Israel’s foreign ministry rejected Canada’s announcement, calling it "a reward for Hamas". Most countries – 147 of the UN’s 193 member states – formally recognise a Palestinian state.

US President Donald Trump said Canada’s move threatens a US-Canada trade deal.
