US EditionEnvoy says Canada is coming closer to recognizing Palestinian statehood
CANADA, JUL 9 – Canada moves closer to recognizing Palestinian statehood amid rising international pressure and recent shifts in government stance, with nearly 60,000 Palestinians reported killed, officials say.
- Mona Abuamara, Palestinian ambassador to Canada, said Ottawa is nearing formal recognition of Palestinian statehood as of July 2025.
- This development follows long-standing Canadian support for a two-state solution and intensified calls amid escalating violence and accountability concerns.
- Canada has pushed Israel for more accountability, summoned its ambassador after Israeli soldiers fired near diplomats in May, and co-hosted a UN event promoting peace talks.
- Abuamara stated, “Accountability means everything to the Palestinian people,” while Ottawa admitted it no longer insists recognition must wait for a peace deal.
- This signals a potential shift in Canadian policy with implications for regional diplomacy and refugee aid, amid ongoing humanitarian crises and international pressure.
