After France and Britain, Canada Also Considers Recognizing a Palestinian State
149 out of 193 United Nations countries have recognized Palestine as a state
Ottawa: After France and Britain, Canada is now seriously considering recognizing the Palestinian state.
According to Canadian media reports, Prime Minister Mark Carney will convene a virtual meeting of the cabinet on the situation in the Middle East, which will consider the potential state of Palestine.
According to reports, no final decision has been made so far, but after the recent conversation with Mark Carney with British Prime Minister Career Starmer has increased seriously.
Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand reiterated his support for a two -state solution on Monday. He said the Palestinians’ right to ensure both self -determination and Israel’s security is possible through joint efforts globally.
France and the United Kingdom have already announced that they will recognize the Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly meeting in September.
Israel reacted strongly to the British decision, saying the move was equivalent to ‘reward for Hamas’.
Currently 149 of the 193 countries of the United Nations have recognized Palestine as a state, and that number continues to rise since Israeli attacks in Gaza.
