US EditionCanada’s Recognition of Palestinian Statehood Sparks Mixed Reactions
Four Western powers joined over 140 UN members in recognizing Palestine to support a two-state solution despite warnings it may empower Hamas, officials said.
- On Sunday, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Portugal formally recognized the State of Palestine, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announcing the UK’s recognition and France expected to follow at the UNGA.

- Israeli leaders immediately reacted as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the recognition, warning it rewards terrorism and vowed a Palestinian state 'will not happen', while Israeli officials proposed annexing West Bank parts.
- Canada emphasised its conditions, saying PA commitments include elections next year and disarmament, and with Netanyahu soon heading to the US for the UNGA and to meet President Donald Trump, diplomatic stakes rise in coming weeks.
