Canada

Hmm... I'm not actually seeing anything here that indicates an immediate plan to recognize Palestine as a state. Canada has been a supporter of a two state solution for a long time, but that's only a commitment to working towards Palestine becoming a state, it doesn't immediately imply that they'll follow in France's steps and immediately recognize Palestine as a state. The article offers no further evidence for the claim.

Israel failed to prevent the humanitarian disasters that Israel started.

YES! FUCKING FINALLY!

GOD DAMN IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

How brave of them to make a statement, with no plans, goals, or commitments, after the entire region has already been flattened and its people murdered or starved.

This is leadership? Fuck that.

Well, at least next week isn't fucking September. A couple of weeks ago a 7-month-old baby girl named Salam died of starvation. I have never seen a human being so thin and it was a goddamn baby.

To be clear, I don't expect real action on this from Carney. I think it's disgusting how world leaders have left Palestine to starve and rot. It will get worse.

saying that the establishment of a Palestinian state would pose a threat to Israel’s security.

Bruh he's not even trying to hide it anymore. Not that he ever did, but at least he had the sense to only say this stuff in Hebrew.

Good move from Canada here.

Too late. Now it's time to do real actions to stop israel final solution

I swear Macron and Carney are friends in real life

If they had any balls, they would provide escorts to the freedom flotilla.

I am sorry, but nowhere does he say that.

The "we want a two state solution, but wont recognize a palestinian state until Israel agrees to it" has been the modus operandi of many Genocide supporting countries. They know Israel wont ever agree to it while they reject putting actual pressure on the Zionist project.

There's a lot of comments in this thread, with a LOT of up votes, claiming this is a nothing burger and isn't actually a change in Canadian foreign policy. I understand being annoyed at slow progress that should've happened long ago but claiming this is actually bad for Palestine is disingenuous.

Canada has never recognised a Palestinian government other than the Palestinian Authority (PA) which is an Israeli organisation set up to represent Palestine on behalf of Israel. Here they are clearly starting they have intention to do so which most likely will be the State of Palestine which is a Palestinian organisation that currently receives the most recognition in the United nations general Assembly.

Here they have declared their intent:

"Canada supports a two-state solution"

Here they have declared their current plans regarding recognition:

"Ottawa “will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week."

Here Isreal have denounced the move by Canada:

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the move,"

Here Hamas has declared support for similar plans for recognition that France has made:

"Hamas described the move as a positive step in the right direction towards justice for the oppressed Palestinian people"

If I were a paranoid person I'd say that the comments declaring Canada's plan to recognise Palestine are futile and meaningless are pro Israeli propaganda planted to look like a pro Palestinian stance. And when it comes to discussions about Israel online, I am very paranoid.

Wait, where does he say he's recognising Palestine?

I mean, at some point, you just need to finish the job.

This dosent change jack shit. UN memberships have to be approved by all the perminent members of the security council and the US is a perminent member of said council. And in the UN the US always does what Israel tells them to.

If I remember correctly last year there was a vote on palistine becoming a member and the only countires that voted no was the US and Israel but palistine is still not a member because Israel told the US to block it.
