"We recognized the State of Israel more than 75 years ago as a homeland for the Jewish people. Today we join over 150 countries who recognize a Palestinian State also. A pledge to the Palestinian and Israeli people, that there can be a better future,"
"recognizing Palestine as a state "empowers those who seek peaceful coexistence and the end of Hamas." "This in no way legitimises terrorism, nor is it any reward for it. Furthermore, it in no way compromises Canada's steadfast support for the State of Israel, its people, and their security security that can only ultimately be guaranteed through the achievement of a comprehensive two-state solution,""
"Already, crucial work is underway across the international community to develop a credible peace plan that enables the reconstruction of Gaza, builds the capacity of the state of Palestine and guarantees the security of Israel,"
Canada, the U.K., Australia and other countries formally recognized Palestine as a state, joining over 150 nations. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer framed recognition as a pledge to both Palestinian and Israeli peoples alongside long-standing recognition of Israel. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said recognition empowers those seeking peaceful coexistence and the end of Hamas while reaffirming that recognition does not legitimize terrorism and does not compromise support for Israel or its security. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese linked diplomatic moves to Palestinian Authority reforms and international efforts for Gaza reconstruction and a credible peace plan. The United States opposed the move, and more countries are expected to follow at the UN General Assembly.
