Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that his country plans to recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations.
In a Friday post on X, Carney stated: “Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.” He added that 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.
The Prime Minister also said that Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian adisaster in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron declared his intention to recognise the State of Palestine in September 2025.
In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the move, saying that the establishment of a Palestinian state would pose a threat to Israel’s security.
Meanwhile, the Hamas movement welcomed Macron’s intention to recognise Palestine during the UN General Assembly in September.
Hamas described the move as a positive step in the right direction towards justice for the oppressed Palestinian people and support for their legitimate right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all of its occupied territory, with Jerusalem as its capital.
Someone explain this to me: https://iris.org.il/images/israel-and-arab-world.gif
All the countries in yellow are Arab.
The little tiny slice in the middle in blue is Jewish and in that blue even the West Bank and Gaza are part of that blue island and are mostly occupied by the Arabs.
And these Arab nations believe that the Israel should not belong to the Jews and some (strongly) believe they should be wiped off the earth.
Why? Why is not the 99% of that land that belongs to the Arabs not enough for them?
Where are the Jews supposed to go?
The Palestinian people have a right to self-determination.
Go deny genocide and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights somewhere else.
Whoa. Whose denying anything? I'm asking questions.
You know exactly what you're doing. Go away. Genocide denial not welcome here.
Im asking legitimate questions trying to understand an international crisis. Youre making massive assumptions based on your own prejudice.
Do you people still think "I'm asking questions" isn't transparent af?
