Canada Joins UK, France To Recognise Palestinian State: What This Means
Ottawa: Canada will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday, saying the move was necessary to preserve hopes of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a long-standing Canadian goal that was "being eroded before our eyes." This makes Canada the third major Western power, following recent announcements by France and the United Kingdom, that could recognise a Palestinian state in September. "Canada intends to recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025," the prime minister said, adding that worsening suffering of civilians in Gaza left "no room for delay in coordinated international action to support peace." Canada's intention "is predicated on the Palestinian Authority's commitment to much-needed reforms," Carney said, referring to the body led by President Mahmoud Abbas, which has civil authority in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Abbas has pledged to hold general elections in 2026 "in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarise the Palestinian state." Israel's Reaction The move has sparked fury from Israel, which blasted Canada's announcement as part of a "distorted campaign of international pressure." The Israeli embassy in Ottawa said, "Recognising a Palestinian state in the absence of accountable government, functioning institutions, or benevolent leadership, rewards and legitimises the monstrous barbarity of Hamas on October 7, 2023." What's A Palestinian State Palestine is a state that exists, but also does not. The Palestinian state has large international recognition, diplomatic missions abroad and teams that compete in sporting competitions, including the Olympics. But due to its long-running dispute with Israel, Palestine has no internationally agreed-upon boundaries, no capital and no army. The Palestinian National Authority--a body led by President Mahmoud Abbas-- has civil authority in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. It lost control of the Gaza Strip to Hamas in 2007, but the United Nations considers both territories as occupied by Israel. Palestinians also call to include East Jerusalem as part of a future state. Which Countries Recognise A Palestinian State Currently, 147 of the 193 UN member states -- mostly African, South American and Asian countries-- recognise the state of Palestine. With western powers like France, the United Kingdom and Canada planning to follow suit, other allies might also do the same. Palestine has been recognised as a non-member observer state by the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012. In the European Union, countries including Slovenia, Sweden, Spain and Ireland have already recognised Palestine, while countries including Malta and Belgium have indicated their intention to do the same. Among the G20 nations, or the group of the world's 20 major economies, ten countries recognise the state of Palestine, including India, China, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Russia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Additionally, Britain, Canada and France plan to recognise Palestinian sovereignty in September. Other countries, including the USA, Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea do not does not recognise Palestine. This makes the United States as the only permanent member of the UN-- which also includes Britain, China, France, and Russia-- as the only permanent member that does not recognise a Palestinian state.

Canada says it will recognise Palestine as a state
Canada intends to recognise the Palestinian state, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday. Ottawa will formally recognise Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September. The prime minister said that while Canada had for long supported a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine dispute, the 'approach is no longer tenable'. The prospect for a two-state solution had 'steadily and gravely eroded' because of Palestinian militant group Hamas' 'pervasive threat' to Israelis and its rejection of Israel's right to exist. The approach had also been hurt by the accelerated settlements by Israel in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Israeli parliament's call to annex the West Bank and Tel Aviv's failure to prevent the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, Carney said in a statement. 'Preserving a two-state solution means standing with all people who choose peace over violence or terrorism, and honouring their innate desire for the peaceful co-existence of Israeli and Palestinian states as the only roadmap for a secure and prosperous future,' he said. Carney said that the recognition of Palestine was based on assurances by the Palestinian Authority that it will carry out governance reforms and hold an election in 2026 in which Hamas 'can play no part'. The Palestinian Authority represents the State of Palestine at the UN. Ottawa said that Hamas must immediately release all hostages taken during the attack on Israel in October 2023. It also said that Hamas must disarm and 'play no role in the future governance of Palestine'. Israel's foreign ministry said on Thursday that Canada's changed position on the matter 'at this time is a reward for Hamas and harms the efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of the hostages'. As of March, Palestine was recognised as a sovereign state by 147 out of the 193 United Nations members. Palestine has been a non-member observer state of the UN General Assembly since 2012. Carney's announcement came a day after the United Kingdom said that it would recognise the Palestinian state unless Tel Aviv agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, among other conditions. On July 25, France had said that it would recognise the Palestinian state. President Emmanuel Macron had also said that the formal announcement will be made before the UN General Assembly in September. Israel's military offensive in Gaza began in October 2023 after Hamas killed 1,200 persons during its incursion into southern Israel and took hostages. Israel has been carrying out unprecedented air and ground strikes on Gaza since then, leaving more than 61,000 persons dead. Tel Aviv has also enforced a severe blockade on humanitarian aid, which UN officials say has brought the population to the verge of famine.

11:00 (IST) Jul 31 India caught in US-Iran crossfire: Trump administation orders sanctions against 6 companies over oil trade; $220 million worth of deals under scanner The US has sanctioned six Indian companies for allegedly engaging in significant petroleum and petrochemical trade with Iran, in violation of American sanctions. The firms include Alchemical Solutions, Global Industrial Chemicals, Jupiter Dye Chem, Ramniklal S Gosalia and Company, Persistent Petrochem, and Kanchan Polymers. Alchemical Solutions faces the largest allegation, with imports of Iranian petrochemical goods worth over $84 million in 2024. The sanctions freeze any US-linked assets and prohibit American entities from conducting business with these firms. The action is part of a broader enforcement against 20 global entities under the US's "maximum pressure" strategy on Iran. Companies may appeal their designation to the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
