Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday (July 30), a major policy shift that drew an angry response from US President Donald Trump and was rejected by Israel.”Canada intends to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025,” the prime minister said.This makes Canada the third country, following recent announcements by France and the United Kingdom, to signal plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September.Meanwhile, Israel blasted Canada’s announcement as part of a “distorted campaign of international pressure,” while Trump warned that trade negotiations with Ottawa may not proceed smoothly.”Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform.”That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them.” n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:46 ABBAS HAILS ‘HISTORIC MOVE, ISRAEL BLASTS CANADA’S ‘DISTORTED CAMPAIGN’5:45 AUSTRALIA HINTS AT RECOGNISING PALESTINE6:32 ‘PUT UP PALESTINIAN STATE IN LONDON, PARIS…’8:28 WITKOFF IN ISRAEL
