Canada’s shifting stance on Palestinian statehood, explained
CANADA, JUL 31 – Canada will recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly, requiring reforms including elections and demilitarization, joining most of the world’s 193 UN members, officials said.
Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state, as announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday.
Canada has historically supported a 'two-state' solution alongside Israel.
Carney stated that Hamas terrorism has severely affected the path toward a two-state solution.
Thomas Juneau from the University of Ottawa noted uncertainty in how Canada is evaluating the Palestinian Authority's actions.
